How I Budget as an International Student from X in the UK
Main copy:
Hey there, I'm X, a X student studying here at X. Living in London can be pretty pricey compared to my hometown in X, but I've learned some savvy ways to make the most of my budget while enjoying my time abroad. Budgeting varies from city to city, but let me share what works for me.
First up, rent sets me back X pounds a month—it sounds steep, but hey, it's London. If you're outside the capital, rent could be half that. If you're in university housing, bills are usually included—just double-check.
Next, there's food shopping. I budget around X pounds monthly for that. London offers lots of options like Lidl, Tesco, and Too Good To Go, where you can snag great deals.
Handling bills alongside rent was a bit of a hassle until I found Homebox. They manage my utilities for around 120 pounds monthly, which has been a game-changer. No more chasing flatmates or stressing over payments—it's a relief, especially with how different bills can be here compared to back home.
As for the fun stuff, I reserve some of my allowance for traveling around the UK, hitting the shops with friends, and of course, belting out tunes at karaoke. Oh, and here's a tip: Check out the Homebox app for not just bill help, but also sweet perks and discounts. Can't wait for you to experience the UK—cheers!
