How the F**K do you afford rent as a student?

So instead of moving into student residence my grandpa moved in with one of his friends because that is the only way he would help pay for my tuition because student res is so expensive he wasn't gonna help with both. But honestly I barely have enough to actually pay rent, plus groceries plus school supplies plus drinks and plus recreational stuff lol. How do you pay for this stuff ?

I do psychotherapy training, I work 35 hours 3 days a week and I've got another job I'm training for which earns more but is self employed and flexible.

I don't go out drinking, I eat well but buy smart, I do activities that don't cost money like working out and running. Sacrifice now and you won't have to do it later 👌

If you've got time, get into massage or PT training to support yourself and stay flexible. I make 50-60 an hour from it on top of having reliable income.

It's tough, you have my sympathy 😆 believe me.

I had 2 roomates in college, we shared the cost of rent and utilities.

@PrettyBlonde 😞sadly this is the harsh reality of this some need to find little jobs to make ends meet and college work can be stressful as you have no time to socialise

First, I lived in student dorms, there was no rent. But also I didn’t drink.
You prioritize.

Sometimes in life, one has to sacrifice some things to achieve other more important things.

Its just the way it is. And i don't think itll change🤷‍♀

May have to skip the drinks and recreational stuff.
PT job maybe ?

Roommates, if you have Facebook get crafty with buying and selling be careful and never go alone though.

Erm food banks/shelters, WW3 is coming soon and most counties are hiring military.
Keep focused on the goal.

What do you want to do after this?

Go to school in a small town rather than a big high-rent city, for one thing.

Get a job. If that's not enough, get a second job.
