Make a game of saving money.

It can be a fun challenge to figure out ways to get things or do things for less than they “should” normally cost. Sales, coupons, vintage and consignment shops, discount stores, yard sales, happy hours, matinees, libraries, free concerts – these can all be strategies for getting more for less. Budget Living is a fun, hip magazine with many ideas and strategies for saving. Towson University offers many free and fun activities for students (e.g., Campus Activities Board, Campus Recreation Services)and there are many other places where you can take advantage of student discounts.
