As college students, it’s safe to say that a lot of us take certain measures to guarantee we’re not walking around with only pennies in our pockets. However, with college life pulling us in so many different financial directions, like textbook and living expenses, it’s difficult to make sure we have a decent meal other than PB&J.
Fortunately, DoSomething.org has come to our rescue with their comedic genius of a contest that could win you a $4,000 scholarship! All you have to do is answer this question: what’s the craziest thing you’ve done to save money? DoSomething.org’s campaign, The Craziest Thing I Did To Save Money, allows you to share your hilarious experiences with Facebook friends. The contest is powered by H&R Block’s Dollars & Sense, so you can learn tips on how to utilize your money to its maximum potential. Visit DoSomething.org/crazy to submit your story!
We all have a few unusual stories about how we saved up to buy that car, computer, or maybe just something as simple as a movie ticket. I certainly come from a long line of money savers. For example, when I studied abroad in London, I washed my underwear in my bedroom’s sink so that I didn’t have to spend money at the Laundromat down the street. No shame. I have actually pretended to be a part of conferences held at my university so that I could sneak in to take the sandwiches and fruits from the buffet table.
Sometimes we have to do what we have to do to get enough money for college, so let DoSomething.org give you the chance to not be so insane with your budget plans. Connect with Facebook, upload a picture and include your story. Take this opportunity for a $4,000 scholarship!
