Some take on temporary jobs while studying, while others face real financial hardship. In simple and practical terms, Mr. Seute outlines the essential steps students can take not just to survive, but to save money along the way. I highly recommend this book to all students—I only wish it had been available when I was a student myself."

  • "Het Boek Heeft Mij Echt Geholpen."

    "Hi, ik ben een eerste jaars student die Franklins boek heeft gelezen. Voordat ik dit heb gedaan ben ik gegaan naar een workshop van Franklin waarbij hij ons heeft laten zien hoe we precies onze budget moesten maken, waarmee we rekening moesten houden en gaf hij ons tips over 'living a frugal lifestyle.’ Dit heeft tijdens het lezen echt geholpen omdat ik al ervaring had opgedaan tijdens de workshop met echt kijken naar bedragen en hoeveel ik uitgaf en waar ik geld kon besparen.

    Verder hielp de workshop mij om mijn verwachting over mijn financiën aan te passen. Ik had een heel ander (verkeerd) idee over hoeveel geld ik nodig had en de workshop gaf me veel inzicht in de realiteit van de levenskosten in Nederland. Hierdoor was het minder eng om te beginnen met budgetteren en kon ik zijn tips over de 5-bucket strategie toepassen.

    Wat ik heel fijn vind omdat ik nu bijna al voldoende heb gespaard om tijdens de vakantie naar een aantal andere landen te gaan!”

    — Charissa, Eerstejaarsstudent Biomedische Wetenschappen
