When I was a student and very poor, living on my own and such
I would eat pasta with beans/peas/gravy
Possibly the most destitute diet ever. All my other money obviously went on partying and alcohol.

When I lost a bankcard or something and had no access to any cash, a housemate caught me mixing the only two bits of food I had.
Piccalilli and rice.


They made me bin it and bought me tea.

Also, pasta, butter and marmite is the one.

I was a student in London
and I can guarantee you had far more disposable income than me. I never once struggled to eat. I put it too you that you wasted money on shit you didn't need.

when I first moved to London I lived in a bedsit in Hammersmith.
I used to buy a 10 kilo bag of spuds and crate of savers beans on pay day so I had dinner everyday until the next pay day.

If I was feeling flush I'd buy off cuts of cheese to add as a "treat".

When I was a student in London I paid all my rent, bills and food with no difficulty with no more than my student loan
and the £2700 I had saved up. Over the three years I never once went overdrawn or used a credit card. I split the £2700 up to £300 a term and budgeted well. I had an internet connection, contract mobile and ate proper food. I was able to go out at least two nights a week, spent every other weekend in Bath with my then girlfriend and went to the cinema at least twice a week. I also had enough money to buy a new computer and a Fender Stratocaster. All you povvo food munchers were just piss poor at managing your money.

budgeting?
what kind of a student budgets??
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 5 Jan 2015, 12:07, Reply)

Students that want to have nice stuff, to be able to go out, eat properly and not get in debt probably.
I flew to belgium a few times on my student loan as well.
