My budget has been "don't spend too much" for the last 10 years and it's worked out wonderfully. You don't need a clever laid out plan, you just need to ask yourself "how can I spend even less ?"

Cancel every subscription immediately unless you actually need it. Pirate everything. Get everything on sale or thrift it. Either buy the cheapest thing you can, or spend enough to buy the indestructible version you'll keep for 15-20 years. Fix problems immediately for cheap before they get expensive.

As a result I'm still managing to save up money while my income is under 10K a year.

Same. My philosophy has always been to spend as little as possible and got my debts paid as soon as possible so they're not hanging over my head.
