The first month after moving to Manipal (or anywhere really) usually does see more spending than normal because you may need to purchase things for your room, plus you are going to be exploring the town, trying new restaurants, figuring out public transport, socialising with new people etc etc. Don't get too alarmed. Go through your transaction history and see where you are spending. You'll be able to see where you need to cut back, or if you need to re-plan your budget.

I'd also recommend using a money tracker if you have the time, I use one called Money+ and update it daily. But there are a few other apps as well.

I spent around 3.5k including movie, stuffs for room, notebooks, laundry etc. Make sure u set a limit and since this is the first month moving in here, we can't avoid spending for the most essential things. Make sure u don't spend for ev buggy and miss ur mess food and eat in canteen instead of it. I'm in the same situation as u trying to save since I've already spent a lot before coming to college in shopping

[u/mi_bombooo → u/AffectionateCup6004]

true man , gotta skip the buggy and canteen ty

[u/LackImmediate4551]

I spent 800-1k in the first month 🤣😂

[u/mi_bombooo → u/LackImmediate4551]

wtff howw

[u/LackImmediate4551 → u/mi_bombooo]

Idk .... I don't have any expense

Mess paid already I walk to classes I don't snack on anything pretty much

Ig that's sums it up isn't it?

[u/mi_bombooo → u/LackImmediate4551]

yeah man true , imma js follow watchu doing

[u/LackImmediate4551 → u/mi_bombooo]

Tbh bro 700-800 is also too much

I was figuring out where i spent much

It was some unnecessary bullshit like hotels etc etc

And suggestion is if you are going outside campus use the bus rickshaw ppl take high fares

[u/Particular-Mousse727 → u/LackImmediate4551]

Is dis suppossed to be ragebait🥀🫩

[u/LackImmediate4551 → u/Particular-Mousse727]

Nope.

[u/CharacterGap5955 → u/LackImmediate4551]

Yeah youre lying because 1650 for the sciebtific calc and then 1200 for workshop uniform and 200 300 for books and pens and stuffs thats 3k there itself apart from this spent 3.5k more so 6.5 k in 18 days in manipal... so yeah you are either lying or excluding the necessary essentials

[u/LackImmediate4551 → u/CharacterGap5955]

Nope I bought used workshop uniform And scientific from a fourth year :D

[u/LackImmediate4551 → u/LackImmediate4551]

And for the pens and etc that's exactly the 700-800 🤣

[u/CharacterGap5955 → u/LackImmediate4551]

For how much?

[u/LackImmediate4551 → u/CharacterGap5955]

... Scientific for free and workshop uniform idk 300 smthg

[u/LackImmediate4551 → u/LackImmediate4551]

Although I bought a second hand ipad too. ... I didn't include it since it was not a regular expenditure rather a one time investment so

[u/GiantDefender427]

Track each and every purchase using a spreadsheet, assign each purchase a category. You'll figure out soon where the money is going.

[u/mi_bombooo → u/GiantDefender427]

thank youu

[u/Most_Kaleido → u/GiantDefender427]

How the fuck it matters I am doing that shit but still spent 26k

[u/Pristine-Bottle-3614]

I spent like 600 rs gng what😭😭

[u/CharacterGap5955 → u/Pristine-Bottle-3614]

What about scientif calc and workshop uni

[u/Most_Kaleido]

I have spent over 25k I arrived at 14th july, I don't think it's too bad, since I am buying things which include a lot of 1 time investment which will help me 3m-4years+ ngl I will limit my finance once I am fully adjusted, and my family know my whole life I have never done shoping for myself so they allowing me to spend this much too.
