Description
MAKING ENDS MEET
"Sorry, I can't go with you, I'm broke." If the
typical college student had a buck for every
time he said that, he wouldn't be.
As many SAC students have come to realize,
money is a major concern. By the time room
and board have been paid and tuition and books
taken care of, students feel drained. So how do
students manage to save a few pennies? Most
shop around and don't buy the first thing they
see. Sale signs become magnets. Some just stay
home so they don't have to spend anything.
Saving money sometimes means going without
— like giving up the nonessentials such as eating, drinking, using the phone, and having heat.
That was the remark of one commuter.
Students learned to become discriminant in
their choices of films, and restaurants. Although the methods varied for saving money,
the goal was the same. If money burnt a hole in
a pocket, a patch was bought rather than a
whole set of pants.
