Posted on November 27, 2007 at 4:53 am You got a great top there. that is whati used to do in college and even now.. I did save up enough money when iwas studying and did start better business after i graduated, although i am running my business even i was still going to school.

Posted on November 28, 2007 at 12:32 pm I always keep myself busy in order to keep saving my money. If i'm alone and not doing anything, i will go to shop and buy something to eat like ice cream or snack. I only will use my money for some purpose only unless i cannot control myself like bored or frusted with somone. I hope i will never do something like that. Its involve my money and hard for me to save my money as student..:(

Posted on December 9, 2007 at 4:51 am well the best way for a student to save money is to stop spending a lot of money in the clubs.usually when they go into a club they send all the money they have on them.if you like clubbing you should buy less...a juice or 2 would be enough and you`ll see that you`ll save a lot of money.

Posted on December 9, 2007 at 6:19 pm Jerlene, That was great advice. My son graduates in May 2008 and his main method of saving money was to live at home and use his mom and I as his ATM machine. <g> In his defense, he did research and find every grant available so he wouldn't have to take any money out of his pocket to pay for school other than books. He found enough money so he never had to take a student loan either. His initiative were two reasons why we let him live at home while attending school. He carried a full load plus worked full time as a bellhop in a local htoel/casino. Not everyone can live at home is a point I fully realize but if you can and your parents agree, do it. The money you save may allow you the luxury of taking your time in searching for the right job for you. Something to think about at least...

Posted on December 9, 2007 at 6:52 pm One thing, avoid go to shopping and watch cinema always. If you do that every week and treat your girl friends always, no wonder you not have any cent to save. At least try to save 1 dollar everyday. I know its really hard. But try it first and no need to rush. After 1 year, you will get $365 right if you manage to safe 1 dollar everyday. If you do that for 10 years..so, maybe you already save $3650 in 10 years? How about if you put that money at Bank? You also can earn interest right? Thats what i try to do now. At least, keep 1 dollar everyday..

Posted on December 12, 2007 at 7:04 am Thats been a very good tips from you, nowadays students are not using their ID's to the full extent. Everywhere students are allocated with some useful discount and cut-off price in their products. Even their study materials are also soled in discount manner and as a student we should be using our college library and all the available library to a very great extent and thus becoming member by paying some little amount for their membership and in turn it reduces our cost of buying our study books and materials that we need for our syllabus.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

Posted on May 9, 2008 at 6:36 pm I agree with the last three of the five ideas almost fully, but the first two are problematic to some degree.  Planning ahead in college can be difficult because a lot things that you do are spontaneous and if you plan ahead 100% you will miss out on some opportunties to do some things you might regret missing.  The ability to think on your feet is a good one in this instance because you could substitute one thing one week from not doing something the next. As for saving on food, a lot of schools force students to buy meal plans, and the meal plans limit the time that they can eat which makes it difficult for them to save on food.  A lot of dorm rooms are not equipped to prepare cheap food, so expensive snacks are and fast food are often a resort students living in dorms. The more I think about it though, these are good ideas for students who commute to school, but resident students have to think of more ways to be flexible with their cash. Checking for scholarships though, is always a good idea.

Posted on September 24, 2008 at 11:49 am You should plan ahead- Of course you need to know how you will pay for college- whether it loans, aid, or grants. A lot of good tips here.

Posted on September 27, 2008 at 2:08 pm 10%. Every time you earn or receive money, put 10% minimum in the bank first! Most teens and even young adults don't save. They rely on parents, instant loans or other sources. The kid who earns an allowance or works part time and saves...buys a reliable first car...and that becomes a lesson well learned. Folks don't plan to fail...they fail to plan. Good luck!

Posted on November 17, 2008 at 12:08 pm I got an instant loan from my bank but im satisfied with it because it gives me a very competitive rates.
