How United Kingdom(international) students should spend money

Today, I decided to write up something for United Kingdom(international) students. Some students are usually broke, so how can they avoid that. I can remember when I arrived as a student, I had priced a cab and he said £60, I had a somewhat intention of taking the cab when someone said to me always convert your money to the Nigerian currency first before spending so it could help you with your judgement so I applied that logic all through as a student, you get to save money that way cause you will be buying things similar to prices in your country.

Do not buy branded products, tesco, sainsbury, asda and the likes make products of good quality at cheaper prices buy theirs. Cook your food, eat out once in a while, you can try the cafeteria's food in your university just to have the experience maybe their toast, eggs (make sure the food is halal) but the food they have available is not really what you are used to and its a waste of money. That way you don't end up running to your family or friends for money once your pocket money for that month has finished. Make sure the food you eat is halal.

Having a summer job is not a bad idea. Lebara, Lyca offer affordable prices to make international calls, buy their sim cards. If you stick to this rules you will end up not being broke, insha Allah (if Allah wills). Make sure your job is halal. You could give charity, Allah multiplies it in reward. Stay away from interest, Allah hates interest.

Everything happens according to the will of Allah. Everything should be done for the sake of Allah. Part of doing something for the sake means hoping for a reward from Him.

Halal is anything lawful Islamically.

We used to operate in a gold standard system in the past, it is common knowledge that we presently operate in a dollar based system.
