I'm going to college next year and I'm very excited. I haven't exactly had the "best" time throughout all 12 years in school. I've been working A LOT of hours to try and earn money and purchase new things etc.
I am planning on getting my hair dyed a different color, getting this straighting thing done to it that I get once every year buying ALL new clothes and things for my dorm etc.
So far I have already purchased a new cell phone, gotten all my bedding and bath stuff as well as purchased a new mac. book computer for my room.
My parent's have given me $375.00 to spend on all new clothing etc. and the money I save in the next two weeks will also go towards clothing and such.
I'd really like to know though...
is it a better idea to
A. Buy things as I get the money for them
so i won't be tempted to spend it elsewhere
or
B. save the money somewhere safe and just spend all the money at once
please help!
any suggestions? I have a lot of things to buy!!

Start with a list and a budget. Mark some items, must have (i.e. essiential for survivial), need, want, and nice but not necessary. Keep a reserve for things you forget. Always save a little. Always.

Congradulations on college! I just finished my freshman year in the dorms, and i loved it. after a not some not so wonderful high school years, I love college so far. I slightly changed my wardrobe, but don't overdo it before you get there, because you might end up buying a ton of clothes that no on wears. If you havnt bought the clothes already, I suggest buying a few outfits that you like, and showing up in college with some spending money to see what every one else is wearing, and make a decision based on what you want, and also what goes well at that college. Have a wonderful year in college!
