Student Survival Budget (2026 Edition)

Being a student is expensive — and confusing.

Money comes in chunks.
Costs are unpredictable.
And most advice sounds like: “Just get a job.”

This guide is different.

Student Survival Budget (2026 Edition) is a survival-first money system built specifically for students who want control, not constant stress.

No spreadsheets.
No extreme restriction.
No side hustle required.
