[QUOTE="Johnson2468, post: 324143, member: 93261"] Saving money can be a challenging task, especially for college students who are often on a tight budget. However, there are several common mistakes that college students make when trying to save money that can derail their financial goals. Here are some of the mistakes and tips on how to avoid them. Failure to create a budget is one of the most frequent mistakes college students make while trying to save money. Without a budget, it can be challenging to monitor spending and spot places where you can make savings. Make a monthly budget that incorporates all of your spending and income to stay clear of this mistake. Include categories for housing costs, meals, utilities, entertainment, and other essential costs. Overspending on unnecessary items is another mistake that college students make. It's simple to become overwhelmed by the thrill of college life and overspend on things like food, entertainment, and clothing. Make a list of your priorities and stick to it if you want to stop overspending. Consider using cash instead of credit cards to limit your spending. Another mistake that college students make is failing to take advantage of student discounts. College students can receive discounts from many shops and companies, but you have to ask. Everywhere you go, make sure to inquire about student discounts and carry your student ID to show that you qualify. Lack of emergency savings is another mistake college students do make. Unexpected expenses can arise at any time, and if you don't have a reserve in your savings account, you may then have to use credit cards or take out loans to pay for them. Create an emergency fund with a percentage of your monthly income to prevent making this mistake. Finally, college students often fail to save for their future. While it may be difficult to think about retirement when you're in college, it's important to start saving as early as possible. [/QUOTE]
