Saving for university

How to pay for university?

That’s easy Pat! If you start saving now, you’re bound to have enough put aside to cover your expenses.

If I were you, I would find part-time work for after school or the weekends and keep that money separate. In no time at all it will become a sizable amount and you’ll get such a kick from watching it grow.

I would also watch what I was spending - I’d want to reach my savings goal as soon as!

That might mean I go without some things in the process. For instance, I wouldn’t upgrade my phone every six months like Spike does - that costs too much! And I would get my shoes re-soled so I could wear them another season before they die completely.

Even going to the movies or buying CDs would take a back seat, depending on how badly I wanted to reach that money-goal.

How badly do you want to go to university?
