During this workshop we will discuss how to minimize debt through smart budgeting and intentional frugal living during training. We'll cover budgeting fundamentals including defining your personal budget, calculating expenses and available resources, comparing living costs with income, and effectively using a budget worksheet. Discover practical money-saving strategies for housing, transportation, food, and daily expenses while learning to resist lifestyle inflation and peer pressure. Understand the compounding impact: every dollar you avoid spending today saves $1.50-$2.00 in future loan repayment with interest. We'll emphasize the importance of budget adherence and share actionable tips to reduce expenses across all spending categories. The session concludes with a preview of preparing for the 2026-27 academic year loan application cycle.
