Budgeting made easy

Money Smarts

Along with the Winter chill, most students are contending with being flat broke at this time of the year! Ball season has come and gone and the holidays always manage to be expensive.

But instead of getting bummed about your fiscal situation, why not take the opportunity to get your money in order and prepare for the summer?

Whether you want to save for a trip, or that Karen Walker dress you’ve been drooling over, or you’d just like to not be broke all of the time, preparing a budget will help you get there.

Budgeting can be a little painful at first, but it will give you control over your money and allow you to get the things you really want in the future. Watch this short vid to help you get started…

As young women, we owe it to ourselves to have at least a basic understanding of things like credit, hire purchase, student loans and tax – because it’s not something we learn in school! That’s why we’ve hooked you up with Laura Tighe from SavY. She’s 24/7 Girl’s money guru – and she’s here to dish out advice and answers to your questions. Got a question for Laura? Click here!

Who is SavY?

SavY was set up by a group of Auckland University Business School students to help young Kiwis like us get a better grip on money matters. They run work-shops and courses in schools and for school leavers.

Comon Discuss It..
im not wanting to promote anything but i have been using a thing called “my money” by ASB - they calculate all your spending and show you where it is going (in my case on food and dining!) is pretty handy for a reality call. . . then i put together a budgeting/ savings plan with high interest if i dont withdrawl - def a better incentive to not keep buying shoes!

Good tips! We try to do most our work in the lounge with one heater on rather than four different ones on in our bedrooms to save power. =)
