Here’s my uni strategy, I’m planning on saving and get a start to my composing journey

1. The Income Strategy

\* Allowance: £6,000 (£500/month)

\* SAAS Loan: £8,400 (The flat rate for household incomes over £34k)

\* Tesco Term-Time (38 weeks): Working 12.5 hours/week = £6,308

\* Tesco Summer (12 weeks): Working 40 hours/week = £6,374

\* Total Annual Income: £27,082

2. The Expenses (The Outflow)

\* ISA Max-Out: -£20,000

\* Food & Fuel: -£3,600 (Budgeting £300/month as requested)

\* Total Outflow: £23,600

3. The "Extra" (Your Net Profit)

After maxing your ISA and paying all your bills, you are left with:

£3,482 per year (Approx. £290 per month)

This is your "guilt-free" money. You can use this for going out, buying books for your Economics degree, or car repairs.
