<p>Bro, let’s be honest for a second 🤲</p><p>Being a student in Nigeria is basically a survival game.</p><p>Like why is everything expensive now??</p><p>Even air feels like it has tax 😭</p><p><br/></p><p>But somehow, I still dey survive.</p><p>So let me drop the Real Life Student Budget Survival Guide</p><p>(No lecturer will teach you this one.)</p><p><br/></p><p>1. Learn the Art of “Do You Have 50?”</p><p><br/></p><p>Listen… Nobody is too big to ask for small contributions.</p><p>You see that “make we run am together” mentality?</p><p>Use it.</p><p>A snack suddenly feels cheaper when 3 of you are sharing the bill 🤝</p><p><br/></p><p>2. Stop Impulse Spending (This One Pain 💔)</p><p><br/></p><p>You know that thing where you say:</p><p><br/></p><p>“I’ll only buy one thing.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Next thing, your wallet is crying and your account balance is giving obituary 🧍</p><p><br/></p><p>Before you buy anything, ask yourself:</p><p>“Do I want it or am I just bored?”</p><p><br/></p><p>If boredom is the reason → Go and drink water.</p><p>Free of charge 😭</p><p><br/></p><p>3. Cook More, Buy Less (I Know, I Know 😩)</p><p><br/></p><p>At Redeemer’s Uni especially, food prices can humble a destiny.</p><p>But when you cook, suddenly life makes sense again.</p><p><br/></p><p>Even if it’s just:</p><p><br/></p><p>Indomie with talent</p><p><br/></p><p>Rice + stew + hope</p><p><br/></p><p>Bread & beans (the holy combo)</p><p><br/></p><p>Your wallet will breathe.</p><p>Your ancestors will bless you 🙏</p><p><br/></p><p>4. Befriend the Plug 🔌</p><p><br/></p><p>There is ALWAYS someone who knows how to get things cheaper.</p><p>Make friends with that person.</p><p><br/></p><p>It could be:</p><p><br/></p><p>A food plug</p><p><br/></p><p>A thrift plug</p><p><br/></p><p>A hair/barber plug</p><p><br/></p><p>A “network always works in my room” plug 😭</p><p><br/></p><p>Connections will save your life in Uni more than GPA sometimes.</p><p><br/></p><p>5. Avoid “Trying to Impress People” Syndrome 🤡</p><p><br/></p><p>Some people are acting rich for Snapchat and Instagram.</p><p>Meanwhile their account balance is ₦73.19.</p><p><br/></p><p>Be calm.</p><p>Be wise.</p><p>Your time to ball will come.</p><p>You just need to survive this semester 😂💔</p><p><br/></p><p>6.
