Managing Your Money

Reduce financial worries by working out your budget before you start at university.

• Work out your income, expenditure and balance the two by budgeting.
• As you read through these pages, look at your own personal situation and draw up an annual expenditure list.
• Once you have your financial support in place, you will know your minimum income for the year.
• Work out your budget and refer to it on a regular basis throughout the year, to see how you are doing.
• Although sometimes a hard discipline, sticking to a budget this year will stop you seriously overspending and give you a really good idea of how much the following years at university might cost you.
