Decide now to control your money Keep the mindset that you are paying for education because education is a priority in your life, instead of the mindset that it is robbing you of your money because you have to go (because you don’t). The following are priorities that can also be financial burdens if they are not controlled: • Tuition • Housing • Food • Tools • Insurance • Gas/Transportation • Books • Vehicle Payments • Phone Payments If one of these is taking over the most important things (a.k.a. “needs”), find a way to cut the fat (a.k.a. “wants”). For example, there is no reason why vehicle payments should make the top of a college student budget. Downgrade that vehicle for now!
