Budgeting, Financial Managment and Debt

Budgeting, financial management and debt  

Many students face financial difficulties while they are at university so careful budgeting is essential to avoid running out of money and getting into debt.  Although you will all be familiar with the stereotype of a typical skint student, struggling for money is no fun, so we would advise you to plan ahead to help make ends meet.
 

Firstly, you need to remember that your student funding is intended to cover the short vacations, (Christmas and Easter) as well as term time. You should also bear in mind that, dependent on your personal circumstances, you will not be eligible to claim welfare benefits if you are studying full time.
