Get a credit card as soon as you qualify and move all of your planned expenses onto it. Most credit cards give reward points back for using it to pay for things, so you're not only saving money in the long term, but you're also building credit (an evil everyone in the US has to participate in)

If you're not in business/finance, tech, or science, get a blue collar job, preferably one that's unionized. Easiest effort:pay ratio I've ever had since I entered the work force, plus it's job security.
