If so how are you doing it? I have only managed to save 50 a month. It will take forever to save at that rate. My tax return is why i have any savings.

I do but it's not easy. Some months my bills exceed income. I now know what months that will happen so I can save enough to cover that.

Hi, how does that work? Isn't your SSD taxed as income?

I don't know how anyone lives off SSD. My brother gets it, but he has to live with my parents.

I save my work money only. That way I can use my savings for vacations and not feel guilty. I use SSD for groceries, medical bills, and prescriptions. I use work money to save, to eat out, and for shopping.
