I really enjoy the job so I have that going for me. I really want to move up and it's a small business with high turnover, so I should get the opportunity. Think I'll give it a year before I quit and have my parents take care of me again while I go to college.

$200 is a bit too much saving if youre having problems covering expenses. $150 would also work out and you don't have to survive on instant ramen that way.

if you're having trouble making ends meet then invest a little less.

100 in half a week is problem. Maybe bulk buy in 50$ slots.
Await for 2.5k in investing and start gambling it

That's just under 21k a year
Where I lived you wouldn't survive off of that in an independent manner. You'd have to live with a bunch of other low income people. Some parts of the US are much more affordable than my region though.
