Most students aren’t broke because of bad luck.
They’re broke because of habits. Money comes in, but it’s quickly spent on lifestyle, betting, and things that don’t add long-term value.
Many depend only on allowances without building any income skills. No freelancing, no small business, no online hustle—just spending. Add betting and impulse buying, and money disappears fast.
To avoid this,
Reduce unnecessary spending, stay away from betting, and focus on building at least one income skill.
Start small, stay consistent, and use your time to create income—not just consume it.
