Being a student will be the most exciting time of your life yet! Probably for the first time you'll be getting your own golden medallions out and living life how you want to.
I decided I wanted to have all the medallions in the 70s, so that I could eat, dress and socialise like John Travolta and still be generous to my mates and to anyone in need.
You may be thinking of poor old Billy Joel, who barely graduated, had a massive student debt, despite working 30 hours a week and living off pasta and toast.
Here's some questions that need answering if you're to get your financial grooves out and live like a King.
What if you could come out of Uni debt free?
Stories abound of ridiculous student debts, loans, overdrafts and credit cards, but don't fear! It needn't be that way. You will have a degree of flexible time to successfully manage your studies and discover the financial genius inside of you. As a student, your living costs are the lowest they'll ever be, surely it can't be that hard to create more coming in than what's going out?
What if I was a creative genius?
Every financial genius acts upon a simple idea, really well, and makes a mint. The keys to having a great idea are answering questions like these: 'What do I love doing?', 'What am I good at?', 'How could I make money doing these things?', 'Could I do it in a few hours a week?'. There are always at least twenty ideas that answer each question.
What if I could have a mint social life and still have cash flooding in?
Have you ever had a genius idea, only for some depressive whale to put a downer on it? Those guys are no fun to live with! Ditch them and start to hang out with creative, generous and enthusiastic people! You'll begin to get confident, then success is only a matter of energy and time!
What if you were a financial genius?!
There's a genius idea in you, and packets of energy and enthusiasm. Use them to make your student years the most successful yet. You'll probably develop peach skills for the future, set yourself up for a life free from the menial 9-5 and discover the financial genius you are!
For an army of heroes to get stuck in with, and an ocean of creative wisdom, look out for 'Financial Genius'' events throughout the year!
