Warm greetings to y'all.. Happy new year beautiful friends.. Trust you've been good? Its another week of the iucontest and can't afford to miss out.😄 So today, I will be sharing with you on my approach and plan for saving for the year. Before the year began, each and everyone of us have plans for the year. For me, i've created and strategize a way to save money, create a budget, and track less spending.*
When the year began, i had to set clear financial goals, created an account for separate savings, cutting down unnecessary expenses, and saving up for the academic session. Although my parents have plans for giving me money for the semester, but I still have intentions to save up regardless. My top priority for saving up this year is to cut down bills for my parents and not to disturb them much.
To be honest, this January, I have been able to save up little money to pay up for my house rent in school and other little expenses ahead. Saving is very necessary for a Nigerian student, because unexpected expenses might come, and if you have saved up, you won't lag behind. I have set up a clear goal in order to sponsor my upcoming school projects, defense, emergency funds, and personal goals. Also, I have planned out my budget by creating savings. Consistency matters more than the amount.
Also, I have mapped out plan to grow my little business of sewing in school. Am trying to save some money to buy sewing materials, organize the business, and set the income. I have strategize my monetary plans so well this year by saving up so that I won't lag behind whenever the money is needed for something urgent/emergency.
In summary, saving up as a student is not about how much you've saved up, but it is about how often you save. Thank you all for reading.. I wish to invite my friends
