Hey guys n girls! Summer is finally upon us and the sun is shining outside and I am sweating my ass off trying to bring you as many discounts and vouchers as I can before the new academic year starts. I am just putting the finishing touches to the book before it goes off to the publishers at the end of the week. It should be out on Amazon.co.uk by mid August (if all goes well). 

The book will be available free on this site in an e-book version via on the email sign up. Perhaps if you’re a new student then you could ask mum or dad nicely to get you a paperback copy! 

Remember to keep money close to your chest over summer, it’s a good time to keep some sort of budget going before September comes around. Rising oil prices means don’t put your foot down when driving around and make sure to watch your budget for food - prices are going up!I am off on a long awaited to Kos on Saturday so keep chatting on the forums and give us any feedback on admin@wealthystudent.co.uk - we’d love to hear from you!  

Talk soon, 

Burf.  

PS. I pulled out Holland in the sweepstake - result! I love the Dutch. Did you know the women chat up the men there and their favourite line is - “Would you like to share a biscuit with me in the morning?” It means that they want breakfast with this person and therefore would like to sleep with that person. Genius!  

Core blimey it’s tough letting students know about a site without a million pound budget to blow.

If you live in the West Herts area, I will be appearing on Radio Verulam 92.6FM for a small interview about the site and what I’d like to achieve. Should be somewhere between 4pm and 5pm.

I also sent out this press release a few days ago to try and pick up some momentum and introduce new students to the site.

The forums are taking shape nicely and more and more people are joining up on the email (we only send out a couple of times a month with a bit of info and deals).

I feel that if we are going to grow by word of mouth then I need to add loads more content and useful information on making more money, physical health, mental health, more free stuff and much more. What do you think? (Leave a comment below).

On a side note, the economy seems to be in dire streets at the moment. Inflation is causing prices on everyday goods to go through the roof, banks won’t let us borrow anymore which means we are grinding to a halt. So what does this mean for you?

I think for students it doesn’t mean it’s too bad. We can ride out the wave for the next 2 or 3 years and house prices will have come down and the economy stabilised.

We just need to worry about how much we are spending and not getting in more debt than we need to be. Take advantage of student free stuff and the monthly competition where you can win money! (Shameless plug).

Take care of your cash and join our fight against the crippling student debt.

Stick with us.

PS: I may start doing a video blog soon. So exciting!
