Good morning all:
I just felt I should give some financial advice to aspiring nairalanders.

Being in school could hectic expecially in the absence of financial support. Even when you have a sponsor or on a scholarship, you might still at a point be faced with some challenges. So these tips might help you while preparing for school.

1. Saving: While awaiting resumption, you could do some little savings. instead of buying latest phones, keeping the money in the bank could help solve a need in school.

2. Rationalize Spending: If you intend to scale through school expecially when not so financially endowed, you need to be rational in spending. Dont just buy for buying sake. And attimes look out for alternatives. I know a girl in school that buys new cloths and shoes every start of the semester. And goes broke two weeks latter.

3. Plan ahead: With the money you have athand, plan ahead. If you know that getting an accomodation outside will criple your finance, why not stay in the hostle? And if even the hostel fee will cripple your finance, you could squat with someone if its permitted.

4. Work hard so you could secure a scholarship.

You could raise money enough for your fees or to buy a laptop through nairaland.com cooperative society www.nairaland.com/1507688/nairaland-e-cooperative-society

I hope my tips do help...
please comment or add yours. thanks
