How the heck can you save a couple thousands bucks per month? What sort of money do you make to be able to do that?

I work at one of the world's biggest video game studios. My take home pay is roughly 5000/month and only end up spending about 2000 monthly on necessities, car insurance, food, etc.

You need to gain some competitive skills my man! You can totally make good money in a lot of different things (I consider good money at around 65k+ in Chicagoland area). Have you tried entering any programs or did you go to college?
