    Being a student with no money is not for the weak.

    Here are 5 real ways I survive when I’m broke — thread 🧵

    1. I Use Free Wi-Fi Anywhere I Can

    I don’t waste my own data. I download what I need at school or use friends’ hotspots. Free Wi-Fi = free survival.📶

    2. I Budget Every ₦100 Like ₦10,000

    ₦500 becomes ₦300 food + ₦100 transport + ₦100 emergency.

    I don’t spend anyhow — I plan every naira.

    3. I Do Small Online Tasks That Pay

    Apps like Konnect.Africa pay for posts, comments, referrals.

    Even ₦200 helps me buy data or food. It’s slow, but it works.💸

    4. I Cook, Even If It’s Just Spaghetti

    I buy ingredients and cook instead of spending ₦1k+ on one meal.

    A pot of rice can last two days. No shame in that.🍝

    5. I Don’t Compete With Anyone

    No pressure to dress rich or look rich.

    I face my front, manage my life, and avoid fake lifestyle stress.💯

    In Summary

    Being broke is tough, but it teaches survival.

    I’m still learning, but I hope these tips help someone else out there.❤️
