I'm trying to get a better handle on my finances. Can you give me any advice?

My best advice is to start by creating a budget and tracking your spending for at least one month. This will help you understand where your money is going, so that you can make informed decisions about how to manage it better in the future. Additionally, consider automating your savings plan so that a certain portion of your income goes directly into a savings account each paycheck. Finally, look into ways to reduce expenses or increase your income if necessary.
