Every year, families across Egypt go through the same back-to-school rush. Summer flies by in a blink, and suddenly, it’s time to prepare for the new school year, often without a clear plan. That’s when the questions begin: “When should we buy school bags?” “How much will the books cost this year?” “We need to pay the first tuition installment soon. Where will we get the money?”
These questions start piling up as soon as August hits, turning what’s left of summer into a stressful countdown. After all the travel and summer spending, most families aren’t ready to face the heavy financial burden that comes with school prep.
But here’s the good news: you don’t have to wait until the last minute or fall into the trap of debt and credit card interest. With just 10 minutes of planning, you can create a simple, stress-free back-to-school budget that fits your income and keeps you in control.
In this article, we’ll walk you through how to start early, break down school expenses into manageable monthly savings, and use Money Fellows money circles to prepare for back-to-school season without the stress. Let’s dive in.
Why Planning Saves You Money and Effort?
Back-to-school expenses go far beyond just books and pens. You’ve got uniforms to buy, rising school fees to pay, private lessons to book, and other activities your kids need to stay ahead. The worst part? All these expenses usually come at once, right after summer, when many families are already financially drained.
Early planning doesn’t just help your wallet; it gives you peace of mind. You’ll walk into the school year with everything in order, no last-minute panic, no unnecessary stress, and without dipping into emergency funds or relying on credit cards.
And right now, if you join a money circle in one of the first three slots, you’ll get 50% off split over your first two installments. Join now.
