Lately I have been feeling that my money disappears much faster than I expect, even though I try to be careful with spending. Being a college student means juggling tuition, food, supplies, and occasional social activities, and it is not always easy to see where the balance breaks. I started tracking my expenses and realized that small daily choices add up quickly. Now I am looking for realistic approaches that actually work in student life, not strict rules that are impossible to follow long term.
