      I think getting a job is hard coz of the limited time you have and it cuts on study time. I suggest working from yr11 to yr13 and save so in ur first year you can be good to go as for the rest u can get an on campus job

    Thanks for the tips! Something I always do when clubbing is only take the cash I’m willing to spend and never take my card, with your card you can just keep spending money without thinking about it (especially when drunk!) whereas if you just take cash you can’t spend more than you have on you x

    I opened a second bank account after my first paycheck arrived, now I have one account where my budget for the month goes to and with which I pay rent, food, etc and the other account just gets the money I earned and don't necessarily need, money gifts, collected change, stuff like that. With the second account I then pay for vacations, a fridge, stuff like that

      Sachin Sharma, bio and chem: do past papers then revise the areas where you drop marks. maths: i mostly just did exam style questions from the textbooks but then did practice papers closer to exam season. focus on the topics you’re worse at and avoid falling into the trap of revising what you’re good at because it makes you feel better. (I got A* A* A with the A in maths for reference)

    • @janani1826
      @janani1826 4 года назад +1

      I know ur asking her but I think you should get a student bank account (cos there are lots of perks such as a free railway card) and monzo(good for budgeting like she said). Sometimes you can transfer your current account to a student one if it is the same bank. If not then you could keep both or close one it doesn't really matter because having more than one won't harm you. Like you can just not use your old account but keep it open.
