I'm kind of looking for financial advice here
i'm a college freshman and I really don't want to be falling into debt with this economy
Basically for books I have to pay about 500 a semester
and 40 bucks for tuition since I'm on scholarship
but I make about $526 from my part time job each month
and my parents allowance is 10 dollars a week
and I need about 120 dollars in expenses a month
(food, gas, miscellaneous needs)
[I have a 13 mile commute to school and an 18 mile commute to work so I'm out of the house 12 hours a day]
So any ideas as to how much I should save...if I should open a savings eventually....or what I should do with my money? I really don't want to use my debit card either. There's about 630 bucks in there.
