Three Steps to Fund Your College Education

Many young people today are discouraged about going to college. This is because of the huge increase in tuition cost that happens every year. This is true even for public universities. Do you have the same dilemma? If you do, please read the following insights. These may help encourage you to pursue your college dream.

Choose schools that match your capabilities and your personal background. How much many are you capable for college? Go to schools with reduced tuition if you don’t have much cash for college. Moreover, search for schools that could be needing people like you – your ethnical background, your interests and the course you want to major in, and your intellectual skills. These schools will most likely provide scholarships. Be ready for strict academic requirements though.


Scout for high paying jobs. Whether you are doing part time or full time jobs make sure that they won’t be a waste of your energy and time. Spending hours on low-paying jobs won’t allow you to save as much money. Contact temp agencies that can connect you with companies needing extra help from students like you. They usually pay above minimum-wage.

Take a break. If you’re confident that you won’t lose your interest in studying, take a break for a year or two. This will be enough time for you to work full time and save for your college fund. On the other hand, you can try enrolling for minimum number of units only for every term. This will allow you to work in the morning and study in the evening. You might graduate college later than the others but you’d get the assurance of finishing college with enough budget.

8 Money Management Tips for College Students

You can feel financially secure if you have enough money to pay for what you need today and in the future. And, this is one of the many reasons many of us save money and invest (if need be). Here are 10 simple money management tips that can help you even if you're still finishing college. 1. Set aside some cash in different compartments of your wallet.   Ever found some extra cash in your wallet? Did you feel happy finding them "out of nowhere"? I know I did. By doing this, I trick my mind into thinking I have lesser cash on hand to spend, so I won't spend unnecessarily. This is especially useful in "emergency" moments. 2. Carry less cash.   Withdraw just enough money from your bank. The idea is to hold lesser cash. When you open your wallet and find that you only have $5, chances are you're less likely to spend it. Of course, if you do need to spend it, you'll have to withdraw money from your ATM card. This gives you more time to think w

The Easiest Way To Improve Your Vocabulary

Do you want to improve on your vocabulary? If so, then you need to do this as soon as possible. Read books. Yes, isn't that easy? You can start with books that you are more interested about. In my case, I love to read self help / self improvement books. So what I do is to set aside a time to do a quiet reading. Quiet reading for me means that I dedicate a day for reading a book. I keep a pace that is manageable, stopping from time to time to write some notes, highlight some texts and underline some words that I cannot understand. Then I use my dictionary or iPad to know the meaning of the word and write a quick note in it if I am holding a physical book. If not, I just write it in a little notebook and save it for future reading. Then I look for ways to use that word in conversations. I ask for feedback if I am using it right, then I focus on doing it with the next word and so on. See, it is easy to improve on your vocabulary. Just dedicate a time to read books that interest yo
