Student Life.

If you are a typical student money will never be that far from your mind, and unfortunately it’s likely to be the lack of it that is bothering you.

But having no money is a student right of passage and you just need to learn to be a bit savvy.

Life on a budget

Sticking to a student budget can be hard, especially when it seems like you have so much money when you get your overdraft on your student account and first loan instalment. But do not be fooled!!! Far too many students fall into the trap of spending all their money at the beginning of term and struggling later on.
