Pronounced ‘Ha-fa day’ from Guam

Posted in Student Savings Tips by Little Miss Platinum

Hafa Adai from Guam! (Pronounced Ha-fa day)  My name is Kressha but please call me Kuri. I am here to occasionally tell you readers how to save money. It is a long tricky process, but it will get you somewhere. I am from the University of Guam and I think it’s a great little University. Considering I’m on a small island, (25 miles north to south, mind you) there are not many things to do. Having to find something to do can be quite expensive. Sometimes, sitting with your friends can help lighten the burden of money. Instead of burning your greens on a movie, stay over at a friends house and watch an old movie with the junk already in the fridge!

There is just a ton of activities you could do without having to spend money. Going to the beach could be one. However, going to the beach is not possible to every person out there, unless you live near one. So maybe that is only a good idea to a few people. How about car-pooling? It might be stuffy, but it is an opportunity to have a great time while saving money on gasoline. I should try the car-pooling idea. Guam is a commuting island. Everyone drives something and there are NO public transportation. So luck you if you have a good system of public transportation.

Well, I am going to do my homework now. Best if you do, too. :)

    Hi Kuri! .. great ideas. There’s not much to do where I live too, most of the year is too hot and it costs too much to drive or go out to movies or dine out. There’s no public transportation. We rent movies from Netflix, it’s a mail movie rental deal. It costs less than the price of one movie admission a month, there’s no late fees and postage is free. You get new movies shipped when they get the old ones. Gamefly is another business like Netflix that rents games. When I was a teenager me and my friends hung out at Denny’s restaurant for coffee, or the Library, we had art or poetry, role playing and movie rental “get togethers” too.

    wow, that’s great rain! I did the same things when I was in high school. We truly had nothing to do but to hang out at the same places, without hurting our wallets. :) I have to admit, it was quite fun.
