Congratulations! You have come a long way and hopefully you are now motivated and full of enthusiasim to ring in positive changes. As a final step; rather than a quiz, we thought it would be much more fun and rewarding to utilise your new knowlege and ideas. So we would like to set you a trickier task...
Below is a bank statement based on the types of common expenditure we see on real applications for funding. Using the "How Much?" & "Work Out Your Budget" planner sheets in our pre-entry money mag to help you; we would like you to make a budget for this "poor" student. Simply use the costs that you can see on his statement and estimate costs for the things that you can't see (base these on your own costs or what you would expect someone in the student's position to spend.)
Now you have an idea of his outgoings:
What do you see that you think he needs to address?
If you could give him 3 key pieces of advice, what would these be?
Are there issues on the statement that you can see mirrored in your own finances?
