Know your income

List every income source with exact amounts and payment dates (loan, grant, part-time job, family support) Note which payments are termly and which are monthly so you can spread termly sums correctly Check whether your student loan or grant requires you to re-apply each year Identify any unclaimed scholarships, bursaries or hardship funds at your institution

Map your fixed costs

Add up rent plus any fixed utility or internet charges not included in rent Note tuition fee instalments and their exact due dates Include transport passes or estimated weekly travel costs List any subscription services you pay for and cancel unused ones Factor in contents insurance and, if required, renters insurance

Control variable spending

Set a weekly cash limit for groceries and stick to a shopping list Cook at least four meals at home per week to limit eating-out costs Use student discount cards (NUS, UNiDAYS, Student Beans) for every eligible purchase Track every expense for at least one month using a free budgeting app Review your spending at the end of each month and adjust the next month's limits

Build a financial buffer

Transfer a small fixed amount to a separate savings account on each payday Build an emergency fund covering at least one month's essential costs Avoid buy-now-pay-later services for non-essential purchases Contact your student support office early if you run into financial difficulty
