Staying out of debt
-
Tolu Ilelaboy, Third-year, rhetoric/French
I just work my ass off all summer. I am not a fan of taking out loans.

Kristie Matheson, First-year, undeclared
I just watch what I spend. It is as simple as that.

Jared Kesler, First-year, kinesiology
I try not to go out as much. I just save all the money I can and put it towards school because it is the main priority right now.

Eleni Vailas, assistant manager, Barnes and Castle
I just make sure I am putting whatever is priority ahead of everything else. No frivolous spending.

Rod Teske, lead operator for the City of Red Deer, Alberta
It’s almost impossible isn’t it? But if I want to buy something, I save as much as I can before I actually buy it. Start saving!

Allen Richter, sales representative, Telus Mobility
Still working on that one. I try to save money and possibly even get a second job. I think accountability with money is a big one that I am going to start doing.
