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.
Saving is not wasting, saving is a wise financial decision to make to help us to achieve our goals in life. As a student there are several ways to save money such as create your own budget and stick to it, this will help you to monitor your expenses and to avoid overspending. Avoid unnecessary expenses like eating on of fast foods that is too expensive nowadays, or buying branded clothing's. You can buy also second hand textbooks so that you can save. Look for a part-time jobs to earn extra income.
