Financial Survival Tips for Students

To ensure completion of education, students must learn the art of helping themselves and not rely purely on the help of the government and family.

  • Be aware of organizations that can be of help during financial difficulties that will adversely affect loan payment status.
  • Strive to have additional income by maximising work. Plan ahead so opportunities especially for good paying summer jobs are not wasted.
  • Definitely lessen expenses for wants. Needs should be prioritised.
  • Avail of discounts given to students.
  • Set a budget and abide by it.
  • Avoid needless use of credit cards.
  • Avoid bank charges by ensuring the authorized overdraft limit is not overshot.
  • When school term has winded-up, it is best to go home.
