Goodday hivers!! It's a beautiful day to hop on this wonderful contest which says **"How do you manage money as a student"**. Of a truth to mange money as a student is extremely diffcult because they're alot of irrelevant expenses and also unavoidable bills to pay which makes it diffcult for students to manage their bills.
Strategically I have ways i can manage my money and helps me from going broke.
The first one i avoid eating outside i.e fastfood because they're are expensive and they cost x2 of my meal.So in order to cut out unecessary spending,so, cook by myself and it can save me alot of money.

Another is cutting off expensive purchases and going for cheaper ones,As a student i go for cheaper materials like textbooks,clothes etc.This can help me manage and control the amount of money i spend on expensive stuffs.

Another one is  is creating a budget,budget is a very crucial in the list,infact the list will be incomplete without it.Because this helps to track down our expenses.Most times i use scale of preference helps me know the most important things i will need,so putting them on budget will help.

And lastly is cutting off irrelevant expenses or spending,many students are used to this,Some can have food at home but instead to eat at home they'll choose to buy junks and fruit juice.This can make a student go broke easily.i remember the time i made that mistake,i had two thousand naria enough to prepare a pot of rice but rather i used one thousand naria to buy snacks and when got home i felt so terribly hungry but the one thousand balance i had can not prepare a pot of rice, seeing i was out of option i had use the one thousand to buy thesame snacks, that day i went to bed feeling stupid as ever.

   So it's a big financial mistake double spending.Thats why i came up with the idea of a Budget. I invite my people to join me in this contest @joyous112 @blessedglow @favouright
