8 Finance Tips for College Students

Never having enough money is something you never quite get used to--even while in college. The following finance tips may help.
Spend Less on Food
Because you don’t have a lot of discretionary cash, you need to limit your purchases. Instead of eating at restaurants every night, you should eat in the cafeteria as often as possible, and when you don’t have the time, you eat in your dorm room. Buy a small refrigerator and hot plate for your room and start cooking your own meals. Buying groceries from a store is much less costly than eating out. Being frugal is all well and good, but you may soon get bored with it, so treat yourself to a restaurant meal once a week--but opt for a less expensive eatery, and don’t order the most expensive meals. The ‘night out’ will break up the tedium without breaking the bank.
