How To Make $50 Last 10 Days

campus hacker campus hacker - 3 months ago
  • Meals: Food is expensive, especially if you are eating fast food or dining out all the time. It's the 1 o'clock in the morning pizza delivery and that quick snack at the student center that can eat a hole in your wallet. Set aside $20-$25 for your 10 days and go to the grocery store.

  • Gasoline: A car is a big part of a college student's life. Set aside $10 for gas for your car in those 10 days. I know what you're thinking: $10 won't fill up your car, but it's not supposed to.

  • Entertainment: Universities and college towns are famous for offering great entertainment at low prices. All you need is $15 to make the weekend worth your while. Use your student ID card for a free ticket to a Friday night football or basketball game.
