Hello and welcome to the new Student Finances blog. My name is Joe Levi, the founder behind Studentmoneysaver.com, a website dedicated to helping students better manage their finances and, essentially, save their money.

I know that many of our readers on this blog will be parents, so I will be writing to keep you up to date with the goings on in the student world. Hopefully this will give you an insight into the student perspective and help you maximize your child’s time at university. This does not in any way exclude students from taking a read, which is why, every week, I will give you a breakdown of student related news and then a snippet of our top tips and deals.

To give you a background of the website, the vision of Student Money Saver began when I was a student faced with daunting financial decisions and bills galore. When presented with my first rent payment, I realised that I must not be alone in this feeling and that surely other students were stumbling around aimlessly wondering if they should set up direct debits or standing orders. It was that rare ‘eureka’ moment that we often hear about and after putting some plans in motion and assembling a great team of like-minded folk, Student Money Saver was born.

If you’ve already perused our site, you’ll know we do this via a number of ways, including top discounts & offers, as well as super interesting articles with some money-saving tips and ideas.  In addition to this, we go above and beyond to keep students up to date with the general goings on in Studentdom. So this means that if something occurs in the world that we think will affect the life of a student – we write about it!

Well, that’s enough history for one day; look out for future blogs detailing the weekly update of the student world and our top weekly deals!

Happy saving!
