As a student, there is rarely a lot of money left in the account when the fixed expenses like rent, internet, insurance and study books are paid. So if you want to avoid a diet consisting of pasta and ketchup last month, it's a good idea to keep a tight budget. Of course there should be room for some fun and a beer on the Friday bar, and for this reason it is important that you do not spend your SU crowns and the salary from your study job on untrue things.

Here you will get three very untrue things, you as a student will not spend your money.

Online shopping

The net is filled with wild offerings. A survey conducted by FDIH shows that young people specially shopper clothes online. Shopping, clothing, electronics and other more or less necessary things online can be very attractive. But be careful! You can undoubtedly save a lot of money by buying things online, but you often end up buying things you do not need. It's super easy to throw an extra little thing in the digital shopping cart. And then just a little more. It's fast and payment is easy with your debit card so it almost does not feel like spending money.

So be aware that you only buy items that you really need. Be sure to save up so you have money on your account for a new computer or other great things you can suddenly need.

fast food  

With just a click on JustEat's app, food is on its way. There are certainly also nice selection of take away places close by. It's super easy and you can choose from anywhere pizza, burgers or anything else. But it is also very expensive in the long run. And then fast food is also not very healthy for you.

Instead, do the food yourself. It does not have to be particularly difficult or difficult. You can also cook for several days at a time, saving time on the days when you arrive late or hurry out of the door. It is both healthier and much cheaper. If you also cycle to the studio, you can also save the membership of a gym.

Online casino games

The economy can often be tight when you are a student. It may therefore be tempting to try out the casino to win some extra money. One thing to put in the foot at a physical casino, another thing is that it has become easy and fully legal to play at the online casino as soon as you are 18, you can register on an online casino according to the Danish gaming legislation . But in any event, you must keep it from. You will probably lose money instead of winning. And then you have even less money than in the first place. You can of course be lucky, but you will almost always lose money in the long run.

Many casinos advertise with wild deals and bonuses, but you should not be tempted, even though it is incredibly easy to play money online. Blackjack, roulette and slot machines are not an easy shortcut for extra pocket money, so save your money instead.
