Hello again! I’m curious about how everyone is do- ing regarding handling their money situation. Last year’s Financial Aid Advisor, Inge Dorsey, wondered about the same thing this time last year. Her solution process is a good one and so I include it at this time:
1. Prepare a_ budget. Now you don’t have to be the finance minister of Canada, or even a business student to do this. All I’m talking about is a simple calculation of costs and resources.
2. Calculate all your costs— academic fees, food, books, clothing, trans- portation,
rent,
entertainment, misc., telephone, laundy, car payment, etc. In calculating your costs be sure to be as complete as possible. It may be a good idea to allow for a small amount of emergency money each month.
3. Calculate all resources this much In order to be

school.
4. Now subtract from re- sources: —if resources exceed costs, you’re laughing! But, don’t spend it all at once and be sure to allow for unex- pected expenses. If costs ex- ceed resources, it is time for the axe to fall. Review your expenses to see what can be reduced or eliminated.
5. Now recheck the bud-

Tuesday & Thursday 2:30—4:30pm
Wednesday & _ Friday 12:00—3:00pm
One way to make up the difference between costs and resources is to go the bursary route for that needed money. Here are the upcoming bur- saries and deadlines:
