“I want to make money not so much by actually needing it, but to save up at least $15k by the time I graduate so I can move out. My parents are good to me, and I live only half an hour train ride from the city, but I think it’s time I started learning to be independent. Plus if I’m going to be a professional student I will need all the money I can possibly save”
That was 17 months ago. I’m clearly not going to get there (my last exam is in November), but I’m on track for $10k. Things have happened which have resulted in less work shifts than anticipated, but that’s ok because I’d rather earn less and pass everything than earn more and fail something (which incidentally I did). Being smart about my choice of savings account and term deposits have all helped keep me afloat.
