I just finished packing up 14 boxes of things at the dorm. Good thing my resident educator allowed me to store my stuff at the dorm's storage as I do not have a permanent address here in the US. Now, after the semester is over (and after month-end of April), it is time that I balance my ledger and update my files.
Yes, can you live on $10 a week, as a student? I can. I live on campus, my meal plan is pretty much cared of by my scholarship and I don't drive or commute. I realize that on an average week when I do not spend on books, etc., I average on $10 a week or less. These are just to buy paper, print, etc. I don't buy snacks - I have a lot in my cupboard from the cafeteria. I don't buy soap, etc. because I have a lot of that too, enough to last for a year. Afterwards, after living up on this, I have a little extra such that I can still afford to buy an Amtrak train ticket from the East Coast to California. With student advantage card, of course. I'm happy, I feel prosperous. :) And that feeling matters. :)
