paying bills while in school

Nursing Students General Students

Published

I am accepted into a nursing program that starts in the fall. However, I have no idea how to pay my monthly bills while I am enrolled. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I can't seem to get my bills paid down as things keep happening. I am freaking out about this. Any thoughts would be great!!

Thanks

Budget. Budget. Budget. Cut anything you can. Cable, restaurants, take out, meal prepping (it really can save a ton of money).

Let's see... Pinterest is my best friend! I learned a lot of DIYs through Pinterest. Just today I made my own body wash for $1.27.

Seriously, I drive a mini van that has no payments.

I don't have cable. I do pay for Internet and $8 Hulu.

I choose to live in an inexpensive condo in an area some would never consider residing in. But it's safe for me and my kid.

I eat vegetarian 90% of the time. I eat vegan a great deal, also. Meat is expensive! Pinterest has great homemade recipes.

I don't get my hair professionally done. [emoji29] super cuts can trim dead/split ends for $8.

I do my nails and pedicures at home.

I learned the dollar store carries some items I need. I only pay .33 cent for t tissue. I used to not eve use paper towels for a year. Now I know they go on sale for .50 cents every so often.
