MONEY MANAGEMENT PLANS AS A STUDENT

Hello everyone your welcome to my blog today and its your favorite girl @betheloji@12.

Managing money as a student is really a difficult one to do because there are a lot of bills to be paid in school ,money for food ,money for transport ,accommodation, school fees to be paid , text books to be paid for , money for healthcare and departmental uniforms and the bills keeps building up. Not to mention the handouts that lecturers demand from students and so much spending up and down. There are also different bills that come up on daily basis that are unplanned for.

This brings us to this week's prompt which is(Money and Students: How Are You Really Surviving School? ). How I balance daily and monthly budget, I always make sure I get enough food stuff to last for up to a month from the house before returning back to school to help me get by every month without spending too much on food. Then sometimes its is not always easy to carry food to school as we all know so you might just end up buying something in within school hours,but to overcome that I get a carton of biscuits and take it 2 a day to school with my water bottle as someone who dose not like eating out I will rather cook my food at home for health sake.

Yes I keep control of my spending to avoid over spending I didn’t come from a home where we have too much money to spare so I had to mange well. And I am a hairstylist and a baker, so I got a little money here and there to hold myself up in school. And one more thing that helped me in school have a school departmental wear so the struggle of looking for new clothes every new session was never a problem for me .

And there was this time when I went to withdraw the last 5000 naira I had in my account at a pos stand and It declined but I got debited ,that was the worst day in my life and you know as this things happen it has to take 7 working days to rectify it, so I had to eat the only thing I had in my hostel in noodles and pepper for one whole week , the struggle after this particular week I couldn’t bring myself to eat noodles again for a long time.

In my final year I ventured into selling pen perfumes in school and the business boomed so much it helped me pay for my some fees in my final year and feed to I was really blessed by that business. And this weeks struggle has really helped me to go back through memory lane and all I can say is its not easy but I tried my best to manage.
