How am I able to afford a 5 week American holiday with only the limited savings of a full-time uni student? My bank account currently disagrees that I can, but with a few money saving tips I have almost paid for my holiday.
Here is just some of my money saving advice...
Number One (and Number Two) Tips
Use public toilets or a friend's toilet when you can. You'll save money on toilet paper and water.
Food for Thought
If someone offers you free food, take it. (Obviously keep stranger danger advice in mind.) Even if you're not really hungry or don't actually want the food, just take it. You can keep for later or use it as a bargaining tool to swap with someone who has more desirable food.
Don't Buy, Borrow.
So there are these like things called libraries where you can like totes borrow stuff for free. This is especially useful if you are a uni student and have been told to buy a stack of expensive textbooks you will be lucky to even look at during the semester. Just borrow the textbooks from a library. Although, you should make sure you renew things or return them on time so you don't receive an $84 fine. That amount, is totally random, and I definitely did not receive an $84 library fine 2 years ago.
Too Tired
Right now I'm too tired to think of any more money saving advice, which conveniently brings me to my final point. It's Saturday night and I'm too tired to do anything other than update my silly little blog. Aside from being a totally lame Saturday night activity, I'm not out and so I'm not spending any money. Basically, if you tire yourself out at dance practice and work during the day you too can be too tired to spend any money.
And now I'm going to go to bed, which means turning off all the power. Hello saving money!
