Concert tickets can get crazy expensive. We recently saw it with Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour.” It’s rumored that the most expensive ticket was sold for an incredible $14,000 (yes, really).
But those prices can hit your wallet hard, even if you’re just trying to see your favorite indie band at a small venue. If you’re a student who is juggling tuition, rent, and the occasional overpriced coffee, then even a $100 ticket can make a big dent in your monthly budget.
The perfect college meal needs to fulfill four basic requirements: easy, cheap, tasty, and healthy.
Easy meals are fast to cook, don’t have overly complicated steps, and don’t need fancy equipment—after all, students don’t have time or space for 11-step feasts.
On the other hand, inexpensive meals utilize basic ingredients that can be found at affordable prices and can be reused for multiple preparations, making your money last.
Smart budgeting skills are as essential to college students as studying for their classes these days. The cost of college itself continues to rise, with four-year, out-of-state students paying about $30,780 tuition and fees per year. Add in room and board, textbooks, and the expenses of everyday living, and it can get overwhelming fast. These amount is practically impossible without massive student loans. Many young people supplement their income with part-time jobs and side hustles.
So, you’re moving. Maybe you’re heading to a new dorm, a first apartment, or across the country for a fresh start. Either way, there’s one thing you’ll need a lot of: boxes.
And not just any boxes: sturdy, affordable (ideally free) boxes that won’t collapse under the weight of your textbooks or cookware collection.
We’re here to tell you that you don’t have to spend a fortune on moving supplies. In fact, with a little digging and some asking around, you can probably gather everything you need for next to nothing.
College life isn’t cheap—between textbooks, late-night pizza runs, and rising tuition, your bank account takes a hit fast. So we went straight to the source: Reddit. We scrolled through real discussions, sifted through hundreds of comments, and pulled together 19 of the most upvoted, creative, and student-tested ways on how to make money as a college student in 2025. These side hustles come from fellow students who’ve figured out how to juggle class, cash, and chaos—and live to tell about it.
Winter can be a tricky time financially: between holiday shopping, higher heating bills, and those random cravings for fancy hot chocolate, it’s easy to feel the pinch.
But the colder months also bring unique opportunities to make extra cash. If you’re trying to save for a big purchase, pay off debt, or just fund your New Year’s resolutions, a winter side hustle can help.

Today, let’s discuss the bookstores in Philadelphia where you can sell your used books.
Before we get to the list of stores with buyback offers and the places that buy textbooks, comics, and rare titles, we suggest you take a look at this wonderful Philadelphia Bookstore Map.
It’s a brilliant collaborative project by booksellers, book lovers, and the City of Philadelphia. It’s also the beautiful artwork by Henry Crane that showcases the city’s wealth of bookstores.
Our today’s destination for bookstores that buy used books is San Antonio.
If you read our previous post about Denver, you may remember Clever Real Estate’s report on The Best Book Places in the U.S. (2022 Data) we mentioned. Unlike Denver, which ranked favorably, San Antonio was listed among the ten least reader-friendly cities out of the 50 most populous. In fact, San Antonio ranked 8th in this category. With just 77 libraries per 100,000 residents and 13 indie bookstores, the city only offers about 0.5 indie bookstores per 100,000 residents.
