Being a student is so hard nowadays. I've been spending a lot for school requirements and different activities related to education. I'm stuck with this saying "SAVING IS WASTING", thinking that with the little amount of money I have, should I put it on an investment or should I just save it for my future expenses or emergencies. I'm also living in a country in which there are limited side hustles I could do to earn extra for investment, so I'm troubled somehow.
Student years are difficult times for many, if you are not from a wealthy family, when yourself have to provide everything you need. Many of us have gone through this, and I remember myself that in those days I spent very little, now I can’t even believe that I needed so little for life.

At the same time, I always had some kind of part-time job, I worked where they paid well, and although it was not a permanent job, I could still save some money. In those days, I didn’t have to think about any kind of investment, because it was insignificant money, I just didn’t see the point in investing it anywhere, so I just saved up.
