That's the main reason most people are in debt, it's not because they don't have good enough jobs. It's falsely advertised that way. It's because they don't know how to manage it. Lots of people go out and buy doughnuts everyday or treat themselves with things that they don't need way too often. Learn to get the things that you do need, at the cheapest prices, while still maintaining the same quality, and you're set.
Review my first post in this thread for a way to help you out with money management. I never even got an allotted amount of money for lunches like you did. 10% of 20$ is 2$. Save that every week. 2x52 weeks in a year, you're already over 100$. without even having to work. Thats why i'm saying save 10% of all your income, and earnings. It's not hard to make a lot out of it.
Most people don't get that it adds up though.
