On the issue of saving for students. Despite the opinion of the majority, I feel one must earn before you save.
To be realistic, do you expect a student collecting an allowance of less than 10k a week to save
A Student receiving less than 10,000 naira as allowance will have to consider the following.
Buy foodstuffs Pay utilities School dues Some vital personal care.
At the end of the day, there's nothing left to save.
Instead of saving, one would rather think about the best way to spend judiciously, and how to get a side hustle to earn more before one can think about saving.
Not that I'm against saving, as a matter of fact, I support it with my full chest. But then saving entirely depends on what a person earns per time after removing vital expenses.
It's easy to save when your sponsors give you an average income and your school/environment doesn't suck Down expenses.

Wow
I love Ur view on this
Some students get enough allowance to really save well while some have insufficient funds...
In this case, the savings stuff differs from one student to another
My point exactly....
I love your perspective on this..
Me, I feel say saving takes discipline and even if a student collects 10k weekly, if he wants to save, he will and still manage to spend the rest with the remaining one. It´s all about being disciplined. Even if one removes #200 to save weekly, it will be something in months to come, that is if such a student is looking at it for the long term, even having to spare something in case an emergency shows up and there is no money elsewhere. So, it all amount to discipline and focus.
To be realistic, that level of discipline often comes when there's a goal to achieve. Or you have a piggy box you use.
I never used piggy box oo 😅
You can help Africa to save then
