As a student, the financial problems are always going to be apparant. But with the cost of living sky rocketing, and the wages dwindling….is living becoming to expensive?
Now I am in no ways extravagant, I treat myself to a very expensive night course at almost £500 a year but thats it. Even my birthday this year is providing practical things- paying for my stage 1 exam for BSL Sign. Yet, with christmas fast approaching, and my belt strings tightening, I still find myself short of money.
I work, both voluntarily and paid, although with my whopping £6.60 an hour, it may as well be voluntarily. Now I am in no way ungrateful, I know I have my health and my friends which is great but uni is all expensive. I am finding life generally hard atm which I am sure will turn around a little, trying to find a way of making money fast is- well- time consuming honestly.
Dawn from buffy seemed to have the right idea when she said ” the hardest part in life is to live in it!”
Just think about when you are fully qualified, the pride in what you have achieved….
