Right now and every second, we grumble and cry over financial
difficulty. Over the years, finance has been a cord
to be broken by
students. Mountain of any problem is big just as our memory of it. If
we don’t always have monetary problem, then what makes us students.
There are no miraculous methods of solving our financial predicament
except being
prudent in our expenses.
Extravagant students waste money on alcohols, women,
jewelries, parties e.t.c. their quest for comfort is unparalleled
which explains why they use money meant for their text books and
handouts to buy radio, fan, television and other luxury items. School
hostels are two small for them. Off-campus accommodation has always
been their choices. Pepper soup joints with their girl friends and
beer parlours with their boy friends are better reading places. Such
students can lie to their various sponsors; just to get enough cash
for vain and frivolous outings. TOO BAD.
On the contrary it takes a student of uncommon wisdom to spend
infinitesimal amount of money every day,Prudent students are not
misers or stingy. Spending wisely or when necessary are their
watchwords. They don’t eat because of the aroma of a meal but because
their appetite cajole them to do so. Off-campus housing is not in
their dictionaries. In school hostels, half bed spaces are their wise
choices. Knowing fully well that money is never being plucked from a
tree. In restaurants, they will never eat rice and beans with fish or
meat; because they know without being told that beans also contain
protein. Prudent students do not demand beyond what was asked by the
lecturers. Above all, they are calculative and decisive, devoid of
gluttony.

you? If you want comfort, forget comfort and earnestly pursue what is
right. Then you can find both, or have we forgotten that: the
breakfast of champion is not cereal but problem? Prudential management
of resources available to us will go a long way in solving some
unnecessary problems we plunge ourselves. Make your weekly expenses
according to your priorities. Let your choices based on what you
believe-spend wisely today and always PEACE OUT!
