Suppose you are a student whose life depends on the monthly money that is sent from your parents every month, but you spend your monthly cash faster than you expect, while remittances going to come 2 weeks time, and a close friend you can not lend money to you.
Well what would you do to survive for 2 weeks, while you do not have any money?

There is only one sensible thing to do. Find a job you can do for fast cash. There is always something one can do to earn in a university or in the town. Offer to wash some cars or mow some lawns. Or pack groceries in a supermarket for tips. And all the while consider how to make next month's remittance last longer.

Yes, this is a very alarming reality, many students are difficult due to collide with financial problems, ironically, to fight for achieving dreams in life.

Well,i think it is a question of how to managing one's budget. You know, whether it is a nation,or a household or a person. To live comfortable or we say, to make ends meet needs to make some plans, to managing one's budget.
First, how come a student become short of money for so long time? Because his parents gave him less this month? or because he suddently become ill, so need more money?I think we should not consider the problems only when there is no way out. I mean if we know this month's cash are not enough, we should prepare it far before the day when all money is out.
As a student, i think the best way to get money is to be a tutor. Because earning online is very slow and can't make too much money.

well if im a a college student.
i will desperately find a part time job which pays daily.
or try to find some expensive things i do have and lend it to a pawnshop first, then take it back later when you get your money again.
and surely ill be more wise spending money next time.

When I was in high school, My parents give me 500 RMB for one mouth. at that time, I have always spent all the money in 2 weeks. I have a method for this situation, when you find that the money is almost use up, you should keep 30 RMB with you, and in the last 2 weeks, 30 RMB is enough to eat, but you can't buy anything else.
