Every person starts understanding finance when they start growing up .

  • List down your Goals and assess how much money do you really need to achieve those Goals.
  • Understand the financial status of your family and assess how can they help you in achieving your goals without costing the happiness of family or without creating a burden on them.
  • Can you work part-time, as a student can you do some tasks not as a laborer but as a person who gets paid for small tasks like taking someone’s dog out for a walk, helping someone in their small tasks; where you can contribute for 1–2 hours and can get some money to finance your needs.
  • Whatever pocket money you get, take some amount out and save it. Its like “Paying Yourself First”. With this way you are paying something to yourself to meet your future needs and using this saving start building some corpus to help you fund yourself.
  • Build some expertise and start by contributing to platforms which pay for your expertise; this will fetch you some money while you learn and sharpen your skill set.
  • Start investing early and learn the basics of investment so that as soon as you start earning you know how to make that money grow.
  • Understand Financial Planning - Do a research around the topic and see what aspects of Financial Planning you need to understand. Its a vast field but for students they need to understand the Financial Planning for a non-working/dependent person or a moderately dependent person.
  • Understand that you can spend as much as you can using your parents credit card but nothing can fill that void, stop taking your parents credit cards, instead ask for a limited sum as pocket money and keep your expenses in limits. Its your Parents hard earned money, spend it wisely.
  • Credit card is the worst kind of debt a student is carrying in their pocket, use it wisely and only spend using credit card if you are going to pay fully in the credit cycle. Partial payments attract interest on remaining amounts and EMI conversion also attracts interest unless its a interest free EMI. Use Debit Cards or Wallets.
  • Look for offers, discounts online and compare prices before you buy anything.
  • Always remember, you are trying to manage your finances as a student, don’t be a money monster. Do not leave studies in any situation unless you have created something on your own and ready to be a entrepreneur
