Honestly, a slow change from McDonalds to home cooked lentils/beans and rice will not only save you money, but make you healthier. Medical expenses, and the associated trauma, are really really expensive. Start on a slow path to healthier to save yourself a lot. A 3 qt instant pot is not so expensive, and something everyone should have anyway … you can never burn anything, it’s fabulous. I know this doesn’t do a lot for you right now, but over time it absolutely will. I hope you get to move here, every place has its warts, but overall Jersey is just great.

Oh I live in Jersey, just buying the home part with the market and my salary with the market and savings is the main obstacle. That's why I wanna live here, because I love it here.

I do need to eat healthier, it is my biggest obstacle. At the moment my health is clean besides my weight. I plan on going to the gym. I had an instant pot but it broke when I dropped it during my move so I need to get another one.

It’s too hard to make big change by yourself without a lot of information.Consider going to a plant based potluck. https://plantpurecommunities.org/find-a-pod/ The fellow who started this is the son of Dr. Campbell who wrote something amazing called the China Study … watch the movie “Forks Over Knives” for context … and it’s just a really good documentary. Good luck with everything!

I love FB marketplace, you can find a never used one there that will be cheaper. People gift small appliances to others and some people never actually use them then sell them on FB. I personally save a ton of money on a lot of things that I buy through FB.
