1. I WILL save money this year!

So I will be starting university from September (yaaay!) and I want to document my experience in some form or another. Believe it or not, the #studyblr community on tumbr helped me a lot in motivating me through my all nighters, so what is better than here!?

I want start off with my university goals and hopefully turn it into a series. This is my way of keeping my mind stimulated during the summer and not simply spending copious amounts of time on YouTube (…..that will still happen tho! Oh yes, but girl’s still gotta work).

So to my first university goal: Saving money!

YES, I was actually the sort of millennial who believed if she did not look at her bank statement, everything was hanky dory…

So since 2013 I had been earning my own money - nothing too fancy, it was mostly through tutoring and last year during my year out, I found work which paid great (the work tho *siiigh* smh) but I did leave. Henceforth, since June 2016 till present June, ladies and gentlemen I had been living on ONE paycheck- yes ONE pay check, oh my! This is not unrealistic, I live at home, so main living expenses were taken cared, so my money could be used in other areas. BOY, now let me tell you, one would think to spend reasonably if they had ONE paycheck to spare, unfortunately I did not!

It cannot be said that I spent ostentatiously, but mostly just unnecessarily. You guessed it, most was spent on food 🙈🙈🙈 and I’m not too proud to say, but this was my first academic year where I bought lunch 95% of the time, instead of taking a packed lunch- and that’s a wtf moment for me, as I grew up on packed lunches and school dinners were a treat on fridays! (I’m British, so fish n chips ftw)

Like who did I think I was, buying coffee everyday before class?? and it was not even the crappy stuff, we’re talking artisan! But in short, I spent unnecessarily and I am so so glad that I girl’d up and looked at my bank statement and nearly passed out!

GUYSSSS and when I say God is good, He is I N C R E D I B L E. We will make a separate post about God helping me in my academic journey (and life), for all credit os due to Him for my accomplishments. Even when it came to me being at the edge of broke (we’re talking double digits, close to single) He has ALWAYS ALWAYS DELIVERED and I am ashamed that I will am not worthy.

Seeing my bank statement, really put things into perspective and I was like giiiirl, these broke b memes are an illusion, it ain’t “banter” anymore- you may have to sell an organ to afford a train fare and suddenly the memes did not seem funny anymore.

So I am more than determined to SAVE THE FUDGE out of my earnings this year.

And what earnings would that be you ask?

I was given an amazing opportunity to work on an initiative in my field of interest for the last 6 weeks and will continue for a couple more weeks. But I have also by God’s grace been offered a permanent, part time job!!!!

So I promise before you all (let me dramatic please!) that your girl WILL go to university and she will be a BAD ASS MONEY SAVER (Dear God protect me from all these food places in London. Amen!).

Another goal of mine before uni commences is to open up a savings account (…but first this girl gotta fix up her online banking eeek)

We will be frugal and we will be stingy, but most of all we will save for a better tomorrow.
