New education, new city, new housing maybe a budget is in place?

A new school year is coming soon for the door. Whether you come from three years to high school or you come back to school after a year or two with sabbatical years, it may seem overwhelming to move to your new education site. There are new surroundings, new people, and constantly new impressions as well as information.
In the midst of this confusion, you need to control your finances, which may seem prohibitive, even when you have moved. A good start to a set budget can be a good foundation for a future stable economy. You can easily experience unnecessary stress if you do not control what to pay and how much money has been spent. For example, it may be worth saving and reviewing receipts and bonuses. It can ultimately give you the overview you need.

As a student, you are now at the outskirts of SU, and receive just over DKK 6000 before tax. For example, what you should give in rent varies depending on whether you live alone in a study residence, or with a girlfriend or a roomie in an apartment.
You may also need to pay a little more than others for either medicine or contact lenses.
Therefore, when you make a budget, make sure that you get paid what you need and at the same time meet your needs. However, there are some common denominators that we all pay for.

Below is a list of things that should be considered in your budget:

• Rent
• Heating, electricity, water
• Internet, TV
• Food
• Grocery
• Transportation
• insurances
• Savings
• Leisure interests, city tours and café money

The 7 Tips to Save Money:

1. When shopping, you should go for special offers. Check out specials for the stores you shop in. While it may be time consuming, it's money-saving. The money you save can be spent on pleasures and pampering.
2. If you exceed the monthly budget, consider whether there are some places you can save in next month's budget.
3. If you have a study job, you should investigate how much you have to earn next to the SU. If you earn too much, you need to repay, so in some cases it may be worth paying off the SU. Keep track of tax so you do not end up with taxpayers.
4. Remember, you can apply for housing support / housing insurance if your housing qualifies.
5. Avoid impulse purchases! Make weekly food plans and buy only what you have written down on your shopping cart.
6. For each semester you go out and buy books. There is a lot of money to save if you buy them used.
7. Do you have any things you do not use? They can be sold online, which can add some extra money to your pocket.

Once you've posted your budget, you'll find how to get a completely different overview that can make it easier for you to prioritize your time so you get the best start of your new education.
