About Money Management:
I worry more about money than about my studies. All of a sudden you no longer have the ‘Bank of mum and dad’ living with you. Clare, 19, Durham University
I am constantly worrying about my budget. I try to work during my summer holidays, but money is still tight. Learning good money management is so important. Kiera, 19, Bristol University
I hate asking my parents for money, but I just can’t seem to manage! Lisa, 19, Birmingham University
Being able to manage your money is a vital skill at University, without it you won’t survive the year. The key is being able to use skills to keep track and control of your spending, using budgets and targets. Hey, I’m not perfect, I still treat myself to DVDs and games! Mike, 20, Staffordshire University
Try to entertain at home, rather than going out. It costs less! John, 20, University of London
Try not to use credit cards and store cards. Remember credit is not real money -
