Spending Diary: One Week on a Student’s Budget

What exactly do we spend our money on?

This week we follow a second year English student who comes from the south of England. She generally tries to limit her spending, but doesn’t keep a strict budget. Attempting to spend no more than £50 each week is easier said than done.

Monday 

12:00pm: My classes don’t start until 1 pm on Mondays so I work on an essay at home until midday, have some soup for lunch and then leave for uni.

2:00pm: My class is over and I’m working in the library. I bring in my own tea bags and keep a cup so that I don’t have to pay when I want a hot drink.

5:00pm: I pop to Tesco to grab a few things, including bread, salad and Oreos. Cinnamon bagels are on offer so I get some to keep in the freezer, and I also buy a kilogram of root veggies for 49p, which I think will make a nice soup. £4.55 in total.

8:00pm: My housemate is popping to Aldi so I ask him to get me some grapes and frozen raspberries. He leaves his receipt at the shop so I have no idea what I owe him, but I give him £2.

8:30pm: I spend the evening batch cooking meals that I can take to uni for lunch for the rest of week, so that I don’t have to waste money on meal deals.

Total: £6.55

Tuesday 

9:00am: I have breakfast at home and then head to my first class at 10am.

12:00pm: Eating my pre-made packed lunch makes me feel smug.

3:00pm: I get peckish; there goes 80p on pop chips.

5:30pm: I realise I don’t have time to go home for dinner before my rehearsal so I cave and buy a meal deal. I make the most of it by getting a naked juice as my drink; cause health is more important than money, right?

9:00pm: I have to pay £12 for a show jumper that I ordered before Christmas, they’ve finally arrived!

Total: £16.80

Wednesday 

10:00am: I spend the morning at home and make soup with the vegetables I bought on Monday.

1:00pm: I head to the library in the afternoon and buy myself a coffee and Oreos from the cafe – £2.

7:00pm: I have rehearsal this evenings so I brought a packed dinner in again, and am feeling very pleased with my thriftiness.

Total: £2

Thursday

12:00pm: Lunch at home again before heading into the library. I have a coffee before I leave so that I won’t cave and buy one at the library when the mid afternoon slump hits.

4:30pm: Pop chips from the library cafe for nutritious essay writing sustenance, 80p. I also have a cup of tea, but I use my keep cup and tea bags I brought from home: I feel like I’m cheating the system.

6:30pm: I eat packed dinner that I brought in with me because I knew I’d be in the library until half 8 at least.

9:30pm: Forgetting the outside world.

I head to The Rule and have a £3.95 cocktail. I’ve been in the library for so long that I have forgotten the outside world existed, so this is enough to make me tipsy enough to start talking about politics and veganism.

10:30pm: I am craving something salty so I go to Tesco to buy crisps. I also get freezer bags (what an exciting life I lead) and then notice my favourite Tilda microwave rice is on sale so I buy two packs. I try to cook from scratch as much as possible but these are so handy when you’re in a rush. £4.35 in total.

Total: £9.10

Friday

11:00am: I’ve had bananas sitting in my house for almost two weeks so I decide I need to do something with them. Look up recipes for vegan banana bread and realise I have no flour. I’m lazy so instead of going to Aldi I pay the extortionate price of £2.59 for a kilo of flour from CostCutter’s.

2:00pm: My oven ruins the banana bread and so I feel very upset about wasting my £2.59 and 3 perfectly good bananas.

10:00pm: After a stressful rehearsal I go to the pub. I buy a pint to start and then two halves for I and a friend later on in the night. My bank statement tells me this cost £7.65.

Total: £10.24

Saturday

10:00am: It’s show day so I have rehearsals all day. I bring a packed lunch in with me but I also stop off at Sainsbury’s for extra snacks, £2.

11:00am: I have to pay £5 society membership in order to perform tonight, which I had been hoping they’d forgotten about, but alas. I also had to give a pound for crew presents.

9:30pm: I buy two bottles of Corona to take to the cast party, but I only end up drinking one because I have to be up early in the morning. £4, but I have the extra bottle left over for another time.

Total: £12

Sunday

9:00am: I get up early and head to choir. I am so exhausted I can’t function right.

12:30pm: The terms of my choral scholarship mean we get Sunday lunch provided for us by the Byre Theatre, so I pay nothing for quite a nice meal. I also buy a coffee to keep me going for the rest of the afternoon, £1.62.

5:00pm I have completely run out of all food sources, so I make a trip to Aldi. I spend £18.30 on bread, fruit, veg, falafel, hummus and some snacks.  I normally do a big shop like this every couple of weeks and top myself up on fresh fruit and salad from Tesco when I need it.

Total: £19.92

WEEKLY TOTAL £72.61

  6. 로드스탁과의 레버리지 스탁: 투자 전략의 새로운 지평

    로드스탁을 통해 제공하는 레버리지 스탁은 증권 투자의 한 방법으로, 큰 이익율을 목적으로 하는 투자자들에게 매혹적인 선택입니다. 레버리지를 사용하는 이 방법은 투자하는 사람들이 자신의 투자금을 넘어서는 자금을 투자할 수 있도록 하여, 증권 장에서 훨씬 큰 힘을 행사할 수 있는 방법을 줍니다.

    레버리지 스탁의 원리
    레버리지 스탁은 원칙적으로 자금을 빌려 사용하는 방식입니다. 예를 들어, 100만 원의 자금으로 1,000만 원 상당의 증권을 취득할 수 있는데, 이는 투자자가 기본 자본보다 훨씬 훨씬 더 많은 주식을 취득하여, 주식 가격이 증가할 경우 관련된 훨씬 더 큰 이익을 획득할 수 있게 됩니다. 그러나, 증권 값이 떨어질 경우에는 그 피해 또한 증가할 수 있으므로, 레버리지를 사용할 때는 신중해야 합니다.

    투자 계획과 레버리지
    레버리지 사용은 특히 성장 잠재력이 상당한 회사에 적용할 때 도움이 됩니다. 이러한 사업체에 높은 비율로 투자하면, 잘 될 경우 큰 수익을 획득할 수 있지만, 반대 경우의 경우 상당한 위험도 감수하게 됩니다. 그렇기 때문에, 투자하는 사람은 자신의 위험 관리 능력과 상장 분석을 통해 통해, 어느 회사에 얼마만큼의 자본을 투입할지 결정해야 합니다.

    레버리지 사용의 이점과 위험 요소
    레버리지 스탁은 높은 수익을 약속하지만, 그만큼 상당한 위험도 따릅니다. 증권 시장의 변화는 추정이 힘들기 때문에, 레버리지 사용을 사용할 때는 언제나 시장 추세를 세심하게 관찰하고, 피해를 최소화하기 위해 수 있는 전략을 세워야 합니다.

    맺음말: 조심스러운 결정이 요구됩니다
    로드스탁에서 제공하는 레버리지 방식의 스탁은 강력한 투자 도구이며, 잘 사용하면 큰 이익을 제공할 수 있습니다. 그렇지만 높은 위험도 신경 써야 하며, 투자 선택은 필요한 사실과 세심한 고려 후에 진행되어야 합니다. 투자자 본인의 금융 상황, 위험을 감수하는 능력, 그리고 장터 상황을 고려한 균형 잡힌 투자 방법이 중요합니다.
