Have you ever heard the phrase, “He spends money like it’s going out of style”? If that describes you, you’ll be broke before the semester is over.

To put the brakes on spending, ask yourself the following question before you buy something: Do I need this or do I just want it? You’ll be surprised how many things fall under the “want” category. Try to buy only what you need right now. When you are out of school and earning a good salary, you’ll be able to afford more of the things you want.
