Fourth, how to save money?

1, working after school

Australia stipulates that studying in Australia (recommended reading: studying in Australia) can only work 20 hours a week, and there is no time limit on holidays. During the class, it shall not exceed 40 hours every 2 weeks. If there is no holiday restriction, the salary is about 45-90 yuan/hour. Therefore, if you choose to work, you must choose legal channels and work according to local regulations, otherwise you will be punished or even sent back to China once you are found. International students can usually find part-time jobs in retail, hotels and administrative departments.

According to the nature and age of students' work, hourly wages are different. You can get higher salary by working overtime on weekends and public holidays. Spouses with accompanying visas can work while accompanying full-time students (spouses of visa holders of categories 573, 574 and 576 can work indefinitely, and spouses of visa holders of category 572 can work no more than 20 hours a week).

In Australia, international students must abide by the Australian tax system, obtain the personal tax number from the tax bureau, open a bank account and apply for personal income tax.

If international students work in Australia with a monthly salary of 450 Australian dollars or more, they are eligible for an Australian pension. According to the law, your employer should regularly deposit money into your pension or retirement savings account, and international students are eligible for this fund when they leave Australia permanently.

2. Avoid popular professional colleges, lay a good language foundation in China, pass visas at one time, and pay students in batches.

Avoid popular professional colleges

Choosing colleges and majors that are relatively unpopular but have a good employment situation can reduce expenses.

Lay a good language foundation in China.

If your speaking ability is weak, you will study abroad after you have achieved certain speech results in foreign universities or passed the speech exam.

One-time visa

Avoid being refused a visa due to insufficient preparation of materials and strive for a one-time visa.

Give money to students in batches

First of all, parents are not advised to convert the fees and living expenses for studying in Australia into Australian dollars at one time. After all, this amount is very large. If students go to Australia to study in universities, the annual tuition fee is usually 15000 to 25000 Australian dollars. The living expenses are calculated at 1500 Australian dollars per month, which is about 20,000 Australian dollars for the whole year and 65,438 for four years.

Many parents are worried that their children will be short of money abroad, and life will be very difficult. They are worried that their children will suffer, so they give their children a lot of money and are afraid that their children will not spend enough. Parents' worries are totally unnecessary. If they give more money, their children will often just splurge. After a long time, they will become dependent on their parents and lose their fighting spirit. If you don't give enough money, your child will live in poverty, but he will learn to make a reasonable plan for money or earn money for his own work, so as to learn to make a living by himself.
