near the end of the month,i'm always broken. though, i once had some part-time job, but i still had no extra money as usual. asking parents for money is always annoying,but not, i will starve, what shall do? may i should make a budget, and shopping less, saving more? or i could do more part-time jobs to meet the ends? but recently, i have more work to do, the exams are approaching, what will you do when you have such problems.

What you need to do is sit down and write a budget that you can stick to, make sure you put in things like bills that need to be paid, do them first, then food etc. If you dont go shopping on a monthhly basis do so, because if you dont when you do go into shops you spend more than what you planned too. never ever go shopping when you are hungry as its makes you want to buy things that you dont need. dont just buy branded products. make sure you always have some money put by incase of emergency, just put a little by each month, if no emergency arises keep it saved, but dont forget to add more. if you have many unwanted items put them on ebay. My situation is I am a young mum of an 11 month old and I am pregnant again, i got fired in january because work found out i was pregnant again, i have been living off state benefits ever since as my partner lost his job at the same time and there are no jobs for his trade. i live by these rules and manage to always have a bit of momey, not alot but enough incase anything happens and Im always saving all my change too in the emergency pot, good luck!!
