I would love to save or have an investment strategy, but i just can't.
I did have a second job, as a waitress, the restaurant closed b/c they didn't have enough money to make it through the slow summer season. I currently have a few more job prospects, but there really is nothing, and i've gone to places, craigslist, the paper, etc...
It's just not working right now. Luckily, I have an education and plan on continuing it, I feel terrible for those that don't or can't.
My post was about the consumer economy and those who are content with being broke and flashy. You're obviously not one of those people.

And never say "can't." That is defeatist. Like you said you have an education so there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Until you fully see that light, continue to put away a few dollars every month. You probably don't have health insurance and have not begun investing some money because you have low bank account balances and so forth. The turn around will be slow but small changes lead to big things. That's what my 2nd paragraph was about.
