10 Ways To Save Money As A Student In America

Plenty of people travel for work or spend extended time in vacation homes, and are in need of people to look after their houses, plants and pets. New students arrive on campus and pay exorbitant dorm rates, not to mention the cost of a lot of decorations and necessities in tote. These two conditions can marry in one fine mutually beneficial situation.

Obviously, house sitting is often the work of the young who don’t have homes and families of their own, and furthermore are looking to save money flexibly. So homeowners will be expecting to choose from the college crowd. A student merely needs some credentials to show he’s responsible: perhaps good references, particularly for other work that required being in a client’s home while they’re gone, like dog walking or babysitting.

The main challenge is having enough lined up to always have a place to stay, but even if the house sitter has to spend several nights in a shared room rental or the like, the savings can still be worthwhile. Not to mention, he’ll be cutting out utility bills, and with any luck may have free reign over the fridge. And unlike at a job, with house sitting he can do his homework.
