Upon learning how the family budget is allocated for schooling and other expenses, many students feel a mix of emotions—gratitude, guilt, and awareness.Gratitude because your parents or guardians make sacrifices to prioritize your education.Awareness because you start realizing that education isn’t free—books, uniforms, projects, tuition (if private), and daily allowances all cost money.Guilt can also appear when you realize how hard it is to earn money, especially if the family income is small and yet they still manage to provide.This kind of understanding helps students become more responsible and appreciative of their studies. It teaches the value of financial planning, sacrifice, and prioritization—all important life lessons.
