These threads always lead to the same ole generic responses, but I feel like unless we know what you're allocating your money for, we can't really help you. You also need to have a budget that you stick to. Having some short term and long term plans helps as well.

OP, max out your Roth and any other retirement account. Have an emergency fund, and cut spending where you can.
