After a gap year I am now going to college and I am finding things rather expensive. My plans were to work around Europe and then use some of the money I made to save towards college, but I ended up spending a lot more than I expected, in fact more than I earned. This means that I am looking for ways to save money at the moment. I have been looking into the rent textbook scheme as I think that it could save me a lot of money. I like having some books for myself and I think that this would be a way of getting that without spending too much money. Often I buy books and then do not read them that much and then regret paying out the money so at least this would avoid me being in that situation. I will try out the text book rental to start with anyway and I can always buy the books if I am not happy with it anyway. I think it is worth a try as it could end up saving me a lot of money in the long run.
