To live on a small budget
To be honest with you, I am not good at organizing money. I am almost always broke and that is one of the reasons I have a part time job. So in this paper I want to write couple things I can do to live on a small budget. First, I need to limit the amount of money for clothing. I spent more than two hundred dollar every month for clothing and I know that the extravagance making my wallet thin. That is also a good idea to bring a lunch to school instead of buying it every day. Third, I could save some money by letting my friends cut my hair which I would not do because I have let one of my friends cut my hair once before and my bang looked like a fool. I think textbooks are too much expensive for students to afford and what I can do is to buy used textbooks for cheaper prices from seniors or secondhand stores. That will help me to live on a small budget.
How to Live on a Small Budget
First of all, we should make an effort to get up early in the morning for saving money. That is because we usually spend money for saving time. It is also said that Time is money, the proverb. I always drive to school on a speedway with two hundred yen for not being late for the period one class. So I must wake up earlier than I do at once. Secondly, we had better make a breakfast and a lunch every morning. I want to take each of meals much enough without spending lots of money. The more I make meals, the more I can eat enough. However, you may not be able to cook a meal with spending much money if you live apart from your parents. In that case, you can own meals jointly with some friends!

I recommend two effective ways to live on a small budget. One is to make a note. In that note, you should write down how much and for what you paid. You could sum up how much money you use during a month and review how you used it. You also could be able to plan how to use your monthly budget for next month, and you would get to be more and more smart consumer month by month. Another, I recommend you to live a well regulated life. If your life was not regulated and you go to bed late night, you might take too much foods or snacks. As you know, it takes large amount of money to pursue daily meals. You also cut the transportation expenses if you got up early and walk to school. Please try these two to live on small budget.

How live on a small budget
At first, I don’t use money in co-op store at university. Because there are a lot of things attract me. If possible, I make a luncheon instead of buying a luncheon around university. At least, luncheon is about three hundreds yen. If I make a luncheon every day except on Saturday and Sunday, I will save about one thousands and five hundreds yen every week!! Second, I don’t use air conditioner of car besides summer season. Then, I don’t put a lot of money in my wallet. And I handle my household accounts. I recommend you to make it. Because it makes you notice that how did you use money and what things did you buy. Finally, after pay day, I say that I’m not rich! I’m not rich in my mind every time.

If I live on a small budget, I worry about food first. I grow some vegetables on the veranda. I hope that my parents sent me some food. If living is harder yet, I go to a supermarket, and eat free sample of food. Second, I worry about an electric bill. Okinawa is hot most of the year, so people need to use an air conditioner. But I open all windows and don’t use air conditioner. Then I unplug except a refrigerator every day. I think it is good way to live on a small budget. I want to know other way.

A type of food made from flour is very cheap if we make it by ourselves. Also, it is always difficult to dress up within a small budget. I think remaking clothes is nice, because we can dress in stylish clothes using small money. We can also wear clothes for long time. However, some people do not like sewing and neither do I. I share clothes with my sister. We have few clothes each other but we can enjoy wearing many clothes.

How to Live on a Small Budget
Some university students, including me, tend to spend much money buying their clothes, every day lunch and dinner in spite of their small budget. Although there is a way that we have a part-time job, I think it is better to save the money which is used for these stuffs to live on a small budget. Part-time jobs sometimes prevent us from having time to study. First, we can save money by deciding how much money we can use a month and write down how much we used in the month. If we can check the amount of our disbursements, I think we’ll become paying attention to it and we’ll be able to save money more easily. Second, as for our lunch and dinner, we can save money by bringing them from our house. In my case, buying lunch and dinner always cost about 600 yen a day. It means that we can save 18,000 yen a mouth if I don’t use money for lunch and dinner. Thinking about this, we have no choice except to do it. In short, the most important thing is that thinking about the way to save money consciously and doing it.

I would like to suggest that good ideas to spend not much money in our daily lives. First, try to make a lunch every day. If you do it, you can save about five hundreds yen a day because you don’t have to buy a lunch at cafeteria. Next, try to drink at friends’ house not at bar. Drinking at bar is costly for students, of course. For this reason, you should buy liquor, and you’d better to drink at your or your friends’ house. It seems to be cheaper and fun, doesn’t it? Final, I think it is great idea, do not put much money in your wallet. I am sure that we cannot buy many things if we have little money. Let’s try to live on a small budged as possible as we can, and enjoy our school lives!

It’s difficult for us to live on a small budget. Because we should pay a lot of money for textbooks, charges for cell phone and gasoline by ourselves while we study at university. However, we can live on little money by saving some expense in everyday life. For example, expenses for meal account for much of our expenses a day. So we can save the money for meal by bringing a lunch from home and having a dinner at home instead of dinner out. And when you want to have dessert, it may be good to make it yourself without buying it. Moreover, in order to save the money for gasoline, we can try to walk when we go to place nearby. If you try to think about how you can save the money in your everyday life, you can find good way to live on a small budget.

How to Live on a Small Budget
To save money, first, I cook for myself and don’t eat snacks between meals. I also grow some vegetables such as beansprouts and Welsh onions and use them to cook. I think that growing some crops is interesting because I can see how they’re growing up gradually. Second, when I go to places which are not far from my house, I walk as possible as I can, and sometimes use bicycle. It helps me be in good health. Third, I try to save on electricity and water as possible as I can. For example, I turn off the light which is in the empty room, and I pull out the plug which I don’t use of. In addition, I don’t leave a tap running while washing the dishes. Finally, I try to get commodities such as tissue papers from people who hand out on the street. Besides, I collect many point cards to get something useful. I want to save money with having fun.

How to Live on a Small Budget
If you want to live on a small budget, to make your money plan is very important. I had a failure experience about this. This first term, in fact, I often became lose interest in making dinner because I continued to come back home very late. So I often went to a convenience store or co-op store to get foods and drink. Sometimes I also joined drinking party and go out somewhere with my friends. Turning my head, I considered the way of using money only a little at that time. That was why I was surprised there is almost no money before I knew. For this experience, I learned that I had better make dinner and not go out too much. So I recommend that you should control the way to spend money. You should have a plan whenever you use money.

Recently, the subprime mortgage crisis is a huge problem in the world, and the rising prices of food such as bread, milk, and eggs affect our society. In my opinion, university students have little money, but we should save money as much as we can. Moreover, we have to consider how to manage money for living on a small money. I feel that using coupons, going to library, and taking dinner at home are good to save money. In addition to that, we need to avoid purchasing clothes although it is difficult especially for women. I live with my family members, so I do not have to pay rent and electricity bills. I can save money more readily, thus I think it is lucky. I want to take a trip to the United States and Canada as soon as possible, so I need to keep my patience. Living on a small money is really difficult but it is necessary for my life. I think that setting goal is the most important thing to manage money.

How to Live on a Small Budget
There are lots of ways to live on a small budget, and I am going to introduce some of them which I have tried. First, I do not put much money into my wallet. Because carrying a large amount of cash will let me do impulse buying. Second, I try not to use credit cards since paying by credit card doesn’t really make me feel that I spend money. Third, I usually take a lunch with me. It is cheaper than buying. And it is also good idea to go home by dinner time so that you can get free meal and enjoy eating with your family. Last, I ride a motorcycle instead of car except rainy day. Since the price of gasoline is quite high these days, it will help you to save money. These are what I have tried to save money, and hope it will also help you.

At first, we should do home gardening because we should not to buy vegetables in a supermarket. If we do it, we will know about farmer’s feelings. And also we will be able to thank for farmers. We can do other things to live on a small budget. We should also not to leave a TV on and not to leave water.

How to Live on a Small Budget
It is not easy to live on small budget, but it will always depend on how small it is yours. When I was a university student in South America, I used to have in my wallet only enough money for transportation and to buy a cheap lunch near the university, so now I think that at that time I was a specialist on small budgets.
At first, I think that we have to buy only the necessary things for our daily life. We have to be careful with the way we spend our precious money, and if we are going to buy something, then we have to buy things that last long. For example, we can buy toothbrushes when they are cheap, but we should not buy carrots even if they are the cheapest of the city, because after some days those carrots will, for sure, be rotten. The next step to take is not to buy alcohol to drink with our friends if our budget does not allow us to do so. If we know that our budget is limited to “X” dollars, then we have to wait until the day we produce money ourselves, in other words, until the day we start to work. My last advice to live on a small budget could be that if we are planning to have lunch or dinner in an expensive restaurant, we have to think it twice. Maybe the university’s cafeteria is cheaper and we can have dinner or lunch outside when the end of the month is coming and we know that money is enough to survive; then we can go out with our friends and enjoy more expensive stuff.

How to Live on a Small Budget
How to live on a small budget is the big theme for most of university student including me. I have to cut much money I have been used for my hobby or any other pleasures. Through my experience, I have got some point to save money. First, suggest potluck party at my house instead of drinking party at a tavern. Potluck party needs a little money because I only to make dishes which cost less than eating at a tavern. Other people also bring dishes, so table will be full of delicious foods. Not to attend the party is the best way to live on a small budget. But party is the good meeting place. So I should think how to enjoy party with minimum cost. What the important thing is not how to give up something but how to save the money.
