>Honesty with your father is step one. Don't wait until taxes. Be proactive and have that conversation. Expect the worst and it won't be that bad.
Our life becomes infinitely better the more difficult conversations we have.

Again, I can't stress enough communication. With your dad, with your buddies, with your anyone you can trust. Work out your head with them. Thank them. Act on it immediately.

>gets paid $500 a month for doing nothing

I would literally do anything to have a diminishing $8k in my account and $500 from my dad a month. I could make that shit last forever.

I mean, I get what you're saying, but I still somehow wasted about 12k in a year. How do I live like you?

>>18674338
Help me out first. What do you think you need daily that you couldn't live without?

>>18674320
Thank you, bro. I will have that talk, wish me luck.

>>18674347
Much luck

I'm sorry, I don't know if I get your question? D:

>>18674353
What is your $50 a day going towards?

This anon >>18674320 gave you the right advice on everything.

You obviously need to find a job. Living with 2300$ is not bad at all.
What do you spend your money? Track everything you spend money on (even small expenses like coffees) and then do some serious budgeting.
Calculate how much you spend on necessary things - rent, food, insurances, gas, bills, whatever.
Calculate how much you spend on unnecessary things - hobbies, eating out, drinks, coffee at starbucks, clothing, dates.

Try to stretch things in the first category so they are under 50% of what you earn in total. Find a cheaper place, a cheaper insurance, walk more so you can save gas and do a little exercise, find better phone plans, whatever.
A good way to save money on food is meal planning and prepping. I eat healthy and abundantly with about 180$/month. I never eat out unless I am on a date or it is a special occasion, and even then I do so less than once a week.
I pay all of this by card so it is trackable.

Give yourself a budget for unnecessary expenses. I usually give myself a 30% of what I earn for things I don't really need. That's the money I spend when I go out for a beer with my friend, for travelling, for shopping, for my hobbies, but also for small stuff like buying myself a coffee.
I have a separate debit card where I put the 30% of my income, once a month. I usually manage to save a lot of that money and I end up using it for bigger expenses like trips and such.

Save the other 20%. Put it away to rebuilt your 20k$.
