Hi, im 21 year old, currently studying at Public university (next month October will be my 3rd sem), accounting degree student. Im university student but never get to go to uni (my sem 1 & 2 via online🥲 because Covid-19 ). So excited to actually be a university student next sem . Right now i want to make monthly expenses budget but couldn’t find any article, i cant ask my senior since I don’t know any of them because online class😂.

Hopefully someone can share their expenses budget as a uni student or share any tips to save money as a student

University monthly budget
1. Food ?
2. House rent ?
3. Transportation ( grab or if drive car fuel)
4. Book / stationery / photostat
5. Saving -rm100
6. Emergency fund -rm100

Is there any other expenses i need to put for my budget?

Yes

food rm 5 a day, fry egg and rice. student kenot save. emergency go to pama. book expensive go to pama. rent expensive go to pama. Saving zero since pama provide. use money to pick up hnnnghhh. college is where u can find genuine life partner

Accounting students.
Ask about monthly expenses.

For transportation,how far is your rented house to your uni?
And food,do you prefer to dabao outside daily or you want to cook at home?

Any plan to get part time job? Because during my days as student I worked abit to support my own expenses.

Eat : gardinia. Maggi. Oats and eggs. 400 a month.
Transport : Number 11 bus. Foc. Take bus or public transport.
Entertainment : fap. U should study not enjoy. No need go club.
Rent: rent cheap place and buy big door lock.

You didnt mention which uni which state.
This is important especially for rent and food.

grab what?
u dont bodo. Either buy own bike or take bus.

Beer, alcohol and cigarettes 85%.

School stuff 10%

Food 5%

😂😂😂

reminiscent of my college and uni days where i spent most of my money on alcohol , some illegal hard stuffs, cigarettes, night clubs and gaming. i also do spent so much money on foods though and the least for study stuffs.

mind you my situation was so bad in my degree days in Auckland, Nz that i eventually dropped out 😂😂.

nowadays rm50 is rm10

coke 75%

hookers 25%

1)Food - If your student accommodation can cook then cook your own meal. Cheaper. If too busy assignments and all, just dabao vegies/meat only and cook your own rice.

2) Can't comment because that's your luck whether u can find cheaper accommodation on your own.

3) Transport - I ride motor, FC low. Every 1 and a half week pump Rm10 oil.

4) Book - go libgen try find got or not first, free digital copies in the form of pdf. Stationary and photostat is dependant on your uni, my campus got printing shop which offers discount if print in bulks.

5) & 6) - none, you need emergency fund for what? Being a student got what kind of emergency? PC rosak or car broke down shit like that?

Pc rosak or handphone need repair or buy new lo

So TS, u is Paul or Dino dupe?

Where's your budget dude? You sound like someone with a lot of privilege. You'll be fine lol

U need a civic ketam to attract awek

Public uni lvl

If Taylor sunway u need Matsuda minimum

how much can you afford to spend? how do you go to school? daddykasi or b40?

we need more of these information

do you really need to do part time? just study la make sure get 1:1

RM1000 - RM1500 for everything exclude room rental.

You dont pull numbers out of your ass, you need data, which is what TS is asking for

He is trying to ge data

No data how to do budget.

Ayam Mia approve it

Lol

Food 800
Rent 500
Car maintenance and fuel 300
Book/uni miscellaneous 100
Gym 100
Clubbing and girl 500

both

joint dupe account

Rice u better cook your own. It so cheap im not kidding how much u can save just by cooking your own rice.

Rice + egg.

Weekend go eat ur zoomer cafe. That how u save money on food.

1. It should around RM 7-8 per meal for mix rice , per serving of hawker food like chicken rice / noodle , etc . Per month need around RM 500~600 per month if everyday eat outside. Excluding the drink . Now the drink per glass of Chinese herbal tea will cost around RM 2.50. Drink plain water for healthier option.
2. Assuming location around Seksyen 17 for UM , the single room should cost you around RM 550-600 per month .
3. RM 300 / month
4. Unable to give the data.
5. Forget about saving, you will spend only.
6. Call parent for emergency

Additional budget
7. Entertainment- RM 100-200/ month for dining out / movies / sport / event .

Normally there will quite a lot of the eateries, entertainment outlets giving out student discount upon presenting the matrix card / student card. Go there for your spending to maximise the value of your money.

If you want to look for additional source of income , I saw some were giving the secondary school student’s tuition before .

U only need budget for food , food and food

Buy grocery and cook daily 600, go out and maken need minimum 20 a day .


Room rent now i think at least 700 bucks depending area i think now cost of living for student at least 1.5k le.

where is your university first, prices can vary wildly based on where it is

If u are lucky u met a rich friend and u are set for your whole uni life

true story

Food aim for rm10 per day (add more needed)
Weekend RM20 per day.

Give and take food RM400. Don't skimp on nutrient.

Phone prepaid & data - RM 60 to 100 / month

Work out how much you have and set overall budget, then only do the individual categories. No point to do in reverse.

kek asking for budget, but never mention where is the uni.
Expenses can vary from places to places.
It is not wise to ask someone on expenses if their uni is at remote place whereas your uni might be located at Klang Valley/urban areas.

1. food ~RM10 a day, stock up on maggi, crabstick, mini sausage, fresh vege from tesco, good for whole week, of course need go out eat with course mate as well, more spending there
2. rental - Rm350, changed to cheaper rental (RM250) after 1st year
*just realize u said public uni, no dorm?
3. transport -bike, leg, changed to motor during final year (old honda, bought for RM250 from senior), ~Rm10 fuel per week
4. book? everything is on my laptop, spend ~RM30 per sem on printing
5. no income where got savings?
6. emergency fund is 1-off, I got RM1k on a separate account

also need to budget for phone data, back then I just steal wifi from neighbor, maintain rm10 for calls is enough

Your tuition fees include uni facilities... Did you dispute for that since you spent first two years away from your campus?

Accounting student shouldn't ask this kind of questions. They should give advice to these kind of questions.

You should ask yourself instead how to make more money

you forgot to reserve for cheong

Ayam only spent 300 per month during uni time stay hostel

True setori
