Saving money has always been a struggle for me. I have always been tired, but I just felt that it was going nowhere. But as a college student I felt that that was the most important time for me to save money. These are the tips I used.
- STOP Eating Out.
-
Even though there are cafeterias on campus I still found myself spending money eating out. All the money used for eating, could have been saved up for something else.
- Get a job.
-
When I got a job, I had more money coming in, so I didn’t have to ask as much. What I learned to do is if I got a paycheck that was over hundred dollars, I would save the hundred and spend what was left throughout the week.
- Buy used not new.
-
When it comes to buying books, always buy used books or even rent the online eBook. You will save so much money.
- Sell Books.
-
When the semester is over the books you used in class, because you will not need them again.
- Walk.
-
Walking to places saves a lot of money compared to constantly calling for Lyfts and Ubers. Plus, walking is a good form of exercise.
