Take a Break
If yearning for the weekends or the holidays is what keeps you going, make sure you have enough money set aside to give yourself the break you deserve after all your hard work.
So have a think about some of the following money saving tips:
- Plan ahead - if you want to get away for the holidays or the car tax is looming, put a few Euro into a savings account each week. It’s easier than trying to find the whole amount at the last minute
- Travel on the cheap - look into budget accommodation such as youth hostels
- Ask for discount - don’t be afraid to ask in shops if there are any special discounts for students
- Cut the chat - keep an eye on your mobile phone spending. A pre-paid account means you’ll never get landed with an unexpected bill.
- Walk - it’s free and a lot easier on your pocket plus it’s a good way to fit some exercise into your day
