I feel like I'm spending too much. Please tell me how I should manage my money?

Do you plan to go to college / university in a year's time? Who will be paying for that? Will you have to pay your own living expenses?

Yeah, I'm going. I had a college fund, but the funds must have depleted because I haven't heard about it in a long, long time. Mum's trying to save up for some money but it's tough, my dad indirectly told my mum that I was on my own.

Since we're still way below the poverty line, probably will be relying on grants and scholarships and the finally on loans.

So I'm pretty much going to have to pay for myself the moment I go to school
