How to save enough money to make life more pleasant during term time
How I did it: I've never been very good at saving. At the start of this year I decided I was going to organised how much I could spend each week, and how much I could affort to save and STICK to it. Saving became a weekly habit.
Here are a list of things I cut down on to help me save:
- Buying only one coffee at Starbucks or Costa a week
- Not paying for a store bought sandwich, but making and taking my own
- Using my student discount card
- Keeping an eye out for sales or offers
Lessons & tips: Not spending all your paycheck, organising how much you can afford to spare. I think the main thing is just getting in to the habit.
