Being successful with a college budget is reliant on you being disciplined with the monitoring and spending of your money.
Remind yourself that you have a specific amount and that’s it. It’s just like a business budget: even if there’s more money floating around in that savings account, you must pretend it doesn’t exist.
Thinking, “If I spend a little more in December, then I’ll just transfer more from my reserve,” means you’ll tap into next semester and could potentially end up short.
