Budgeting Tips in Australia for International Students

Studying in Australiawill open a lot of opportunities for you but for some it may be a costly investment. The room payments every month, meals every day, transport, shopping, will drain your debit card. But stay calm and find a way to earn more money, here’s how:

  1. Find a scholarship. If you already have a scholarship that is good, then all  you need to do is  just give your best in your studies so you will be able to keep your scholarship

  2. Help your landlord. If you are living with your landlord do not be afraid to ask them for discounted rates if you are willing to do some housework for them. They will be grateful to have you as their tenant since you are not hesitating to help them. If you do it quite often a good landlord will happy to negotiate, but if you worry they won’t pay, make the agreement from the start.

  3. Be anything you are able to be. if you have a car and love kids, you can apply for a babysitting job. If you enjoy cleaning you can apply as a house maid/cleaner. If you love animals, apply for a part time job as a dog companion or take part in a local pet store/animal shelter. Be anything you want for the sake of making extra money.

  4. Catch your lecturer’s attention. Be good in class, active and always show that you are eager to learn. Some lecturer’s have a lot of work besides their job to teach you in class. If you are successful catch your lecturer’s attention with your active behaviour and your smart brain, it will be possible they offer you a place to become their assistant.

  5. Sell some stuff you never use. Have you ever caught yourself buying something that you will never wear or use? Sell it. Do not wait till it gets old in your cupboard. Some people may need your old books, your old dresses etc. So do not waste it.

  6. Become a proof reader. If you think you’re English is good and you know how to write and are able to spot any mistakes, why don’t you advertise yourself as a proof reader? It is easy if you know the English Language besides you will be able to earn money by doing something you can do everywhere.
