Looking for ways to save?

Here’s some ideas for budgeting during college.
· Keep a budget. Having a budget allows you to plan how much you want to spend, and how you want to spend it.

· Figure out where your money is going each month, and areas in which you can save. For example, if you frequently eat out and want to cut back, consider packing lunches for school instead. Or cutting back on morning trips to the coffee shop.

· If going out, consider going to happy hour instead of doing a full dinner, seeing matinee movies, or doing inexpensive things like going for a walk.

    · Or instead of going out, consider inviting friends over to cook instead of going out for dinner, or  inviting them over for a movie night.

· Plan in advance for big expenses. Need to buy a car or planning a vacation? Save now so that you can afford big items later-on.
