– Most students probably don’t have much to save, but if you manage to put a little aside every month, that’s good, says Marcus Tostrup Smith. He himself is not allowed to save anything now that he has taken a master’s in finance, but he saved when he took his bachelor’s degree. – Then I worked a bit on the side and was often left with a couple of thousand a month. I placed the money in a global index fund, which is smart if you have a long savings horizon, he believes. Go through what you usually spend money on each month and see if you can cut one of the habits. After a few months, you see if it is possible to cut something new. – I buy lunch at school when I have long days, because it can get a bit sad to always save every penny. But I think many students spend more money than necessary, Marcus Tostrup Smith (22).

He himself uses a credit card for everything, but never puts anyone on the card that he can’t afford. – I have a Trumf visa which I use at Kiwi. You get 1 percent for being a Trumf member and 2 percent on everything if you have a Trumf visa. It is a doubling, Smith points out. Credit cards can therefore be good if you are financially sound enough to use them properly. Even if you live frugally, you may not have money to spare. – The most important thing is that you start saving as soon as you finish studying and have a job, says Marcus Tostrup Smith.
