No money in my pockets.

Between paying tuition, rent, and car insurance, and groceries it can be really tough to manage all of my finances as a college student.   I recently went to a financial adviser online who was really good at helping me identify the best ways for me to save money.  I think that it can be really good for college students, especially those that are putting themselves through school.  I know how stressful it can be to sit down to do financial planning and wonder how you are going to make ends meet.  It can be really discouraging to realize that you are going to have to put school off for another semester because you do not have the money to buy the books.  I have found that putting a portion of every paycheck directly into my savings account instead of keeping it in my checking can help to encourage me to save more.  The financial adviser also recommended to me that I stop buying fast food for lunch everyday and buying groceries with coupons.  I think that with the right financial planning and a habit of responsible , it can be possible to find the money to put yourself through school and pay back all of your loans.
