Life becomes easy when we have some cash in our bank accounts, we tend not to worry much because anything related to money issues will easily be sorted. This happens to everyone including students.
Having some cool cash as a student will definitely pay some bills like buying handouts, eating nice food, paying for data subscription, taking your bae out on a cool Saturday evening and some other expenses.
For the majority of students, their main source of income is their parents/guardians, some scholarships and very few people make money on their own either by rendering service or selling goods. It is good to have your own source of income that you can boast of as a student, this makes you financially independent and you feel more in charge of your life.
After school, such students find it hard to depend on others to pay their bills since they have been the ones handling it right from school.
