Many of you are already following me on Twitter, which is great. If you aren’t, you’ve been missing out on some daily tips for saving and making money that I’ve been sharing. But in the interest of fairness, I have decided to compile the tips into posts. Each post will have 10 tips and will be updated every two weeks. I’m only posting the tips on Twitter on weekdays so it’s two weeks and you’ll have another post! I hope you like them! Here’s the first 10 tips I’ve shared on Twitter. Enjoy!

1)  Don’t buy term papers. The quality is crap and typically on par with junior high level intelligence. Don’t waste your $$$!

2)  Don’t buy things on a whim. Even if things are cheap or on sale, ask yourself if you really need it. If not, don’t!

3)  Listen to music for free online. Check out Pandora, Ruckus, Last.fm, and others. They’re all free and easy!

4)  Stop buying lunch at the food court! Just make yourself a sandwich and pack some snacks for the day and you’ll be fine!

5)  Wait to get that pet you want. You probably can’t afford it and you won’t be around enough to give it the attention it needs!

6)  Create and stick to a budget. Knowing where all your money is going is half the battle. Control your spending!

7)  Try to be an RA in the dorms. The pay often includes room + board + a stipend on top of that. Saved me nearly $10K in costs!

8)  Walk, bike, roller blade, scooter, or skateboard to campus. Overcome the laziness and you’ll save money not driving every day!

9)  Don’t go grocery shopping without a plan to buy a few items. Go once a week and get all that you’ll need for the week.

10)  Work at your library or computer lab. You’ll be able to study (or play) most of the time and get paid for it! Extra cash!!!
