hmmm... That's another question. I don't know actually! But don't you think if one starts with buying nice okrika clothes and selling in school or something.. Atleast I'm sure you"ll sell higher than you bought. Don't you think so? That's my opinion though

I wil get a part tym job

oboy u r lucky I hardly see someone that will send me that kind of money monthly.

Truth be told, that money is chicken feed. When I was an undergraduate, my uncle was sending me 5k and the money wasn't even regular. I couldn't blame him because he has his own family to cater for too. He was also responsible for my education right from primary school up to the university level. So, I had to partner with a friend and we ventured into game centre, noodles, egg and bread business back then... So from 200L, I was able to cater for myself that I wasn't expecting anything from him again... Though, it affected my education because I was actually eyeing first class then but to the glory of God, I still graduated with 2.1.... I really feel for the OP because I'd once been in that scenario... That's why I'm still angry with my parents today especially my father for bringing me into this world without making provisions for me and anytime I remember the difficulties I encountered during my undergraduate days, I dislike him the more.

This is encouraging/motivating.. The thing is he's running a regular (full-time) programme, studying Economics and the time-table does not favour him at all.. He practically attends lectures from morning till evening.. Btw, He's already in 300 level tho..... He just wants to know how a freshman would cope with this budget constraints

He used to do that but in the long-run, he was seen as a parasite. Its typical of the human nature tho. Btw, too much familiarity breeds contempt
