This probably sounds like old news but many Nigerians still pinch pennies to afford the high cost of goods and services. The situation became intense ever since the removal of fuel subsidy. Students are not excluded from the dance to this distorted tune. You are not alone in this shocking, as the tips below are three feasible steps just for you to save money while on tight budget.
1. Avoid Spontaneous Purchase
Let people call you 'ijebu' (a stingy person) all they want, but it is your shoe and you know where it bites. Avoid buying things you did not plan for. Write out a weekly list of purchase and stick to it. You may even realise you will no longer need to purchase some items on the list. There you go; that litmoney may just sustain you.
2. Resist Buying in Bits
Buying in bits drill a hole in your pockets and it leaves you wondering where all the money went. This is because retail sellers sell with added profit. Purchase the quantity of items that will sustain you for at least a month and buy in wholesale prices too.
3. Adopt Cheaper Ways of Transportation
Transport fare looms large in our world of spending and it is necessary for reaching various destinations. Walk breakable distances, hitch a ride with neighbours or acquiescence, move close to your workplace but not to a place with exorbitant rent; consider cycling too.
This is a trying time for every Nigerian, particularly students whose parents may not increase their allawee. While the aforementioned will help you save money on a tight budget, an improved standard of living with pleasant economy is what we should all strive towards.
