Being a college kid a lot if not all of us suffer from being basically broke. Students think there is no way around this and spend all their time complaining that they will never have enough money. This is caused from people spending money far to quickly on things that they may not really need. There is several things you can do to avoid this problem. First there is prioritizing your purchases; basically this means determining which purchases are desperately needed and those you simply just want. Those that you need would be like food, toiletries, and other such items. Where as wants would be like a new video game or new clothes. If you get rid of the wants and only focus on the needed you will find you will have plenty of money to go around and then you can spend the extra money on the few wants afterwards. The second tip is to get together with your roommate or roommates and split the expenses between all of you. If you take all the buying on your self you will run out of money but if you split up the purchases you and your roommates will all have extra money to go around. The third tip is that if you are going to buy something shop around online first and check out the prices and any deals that may be floating around out there. In my experiences Amazon has always been effective in this task. They give you the prices from all the stores around and most of the time gives you free shipping. The fourth tip is if you are having trouble finding money there are always job opportunities out there if you look hard enough. When applying for a job filling out the job application isn't enough. In order to show the employer you want the job go the extra mile and a week after submitting your application call and follow up the application. This will show the employer that you are serious about the job which may give you an edge over the other candidates. Those are my tips and I hope they helped. If you are looking for more I found a site that I found several useful tips on that I am going to use in the future. Tuesday, October 16, 2012
