Save, even if you think you can't: People in a tough spot financially usually neglect to put money away for emergencies. It’s a common mistake, and the trap is thinking that you either a.) Have to put a lot of money away or b.) Should use all your money to pay down debt. But the reality is that even putting $5, $10, or $20 away every week will make a difference.  Setting up recurring, automatic payments to a bank savings account can help with that. Before long, you will have a substantial amount of money saved up.
