1. Don’t Try To Pack Your Whole House Into Your Bag.

How about you download Spending tracker on your phone to keep track of your daily or weekly expenses because let’s admit, there could be situations you might end up with a lot blurry nights. A little up and down in your budget is okay as long as you don’t blow the last of your lunch money on a night out.

3. Utilize Your Holidays To See The World
