<\/figure>\n\n\n\nGrocery list<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Grocery lists are another thing you can do to save some or even a lot of money every month. By thinking beforehand about what you need from the store, you can make a grocery list and avoid impulse purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grocery lists are a good addition to budgets. When you have a certain amount to spend each month, you can calculate how much you can spend on a single trip and how long you have to survive with those groceries. Also, when you know how much you can spend, you are less likely to buy something you don\u2019t necessarily need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are other benefits of doing a grocery list as well. It will help you remember everything and prevent you from making several trips per day. This will save you time and money since you won’t have to buy so much useless stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eating and drinking at restaurants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Eating out can be an expensive habit for a student. And if it is not, you are probably eating unhealthy food that will have numerous bad impacts on your performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you don\u2019t eat healthy, you will have less energy to complete your school. A healthy diet is very important if you want to maintain high efficiency when studying or working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, how to eat healthy while sticking on your student budget? The answer is simple: cook by yourself. If you are not a skilled cook yet, learn. It will save you a lot of money in the coming years and cooking can be a lot of fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You will know exactly what you are eating, and this way keep your diet healthy. It is also a much more cost-efficient way for students to cook their own food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
YouTube and the internet overall are full of cooking tutorials and guides. Choose something easy to start with if you are new to cooking, and don\u2019t unmotivate yourself by trying to do something really difficult at first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Accommodation and transportation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Accommodation can cost a lot if you only have a limited student budget. The best and cheapest option is probably to live in your student dorms with some roommates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you wish to live outside your school, having a roommate to split the expenses with can help out a lot. Rent and accommodation overall can alone be the biggest expense on your budget, so find ways to reduce that and you don\u2019t have to save so much on other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Transportation is another thing that can cost. If you have your own car, that can be very expensive. Even if the car was cheap, even still. Insurances, taxes, maintenance, repair, fuel, etc. Owning a car is not cheap. Try to use public transportation as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSave on the big things so you don\u2019t have to save on the small things\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the best things in my opinion on the list on how to save more as a student is simply to just earn more. When you have more money to spend each month, you don\u2019t have to do budgeting if you don\u2019t want to. You can eat out if your income is high enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you earn more, you can easily keep your living standards without compromises and still have money saved up every month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are a lot of ways you can earn more. You could start a part-time job or even start your own business. It doesn\u2019t have to be anything large that requires a lot of capital. Here are some posts about starting a business if interested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What is ideal business like<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n How to start a business in 7 steps<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you decide to take a part-time job or start your own business while studying, make sure your studies won\u2019t suffer from it. Don\u2019t burn yourself out. What is the point of paying for tuition fees, if you don\u2019t have enough energy to learn anything? Allocate your time so that you don\u2019t burn out. Make sure you have enough sleep and free time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Last thing on my list to save money as a student is to graduate earlier. This is one of those “easier said than done” things, but it can be done. This way, you will have to pay less in tuition fees and also have more time to work and earn money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s say you are paying 20 000 annually for tuition. After you graduate, you can earn 30 000 dollars annually. If you graduate one year earlier, you will not only save 20 000 dollars in tuition fees, but also earn 30 000 dollars more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That makes a total of 50 000 dollars of money saved, just by graduating one year earlier. If this was the case, I would say that it is better to try to graduate earlier than to work and study simultaneously. The amount of money you can save by completing your studies faster and graduating early can be even bigger than in my example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These are some ways you can save more money as a student. I am sure there are several other ways, but these are some basic things that pretty much everybody can do with some effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I have a post about how to save money smarter, not harder. You can read it here<\/strong> <\/a>if interested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you wonder what to do with the money you have saved up, maybe invest some of it to learn how investing works.
