Juggling school, work, and tight finances can be frustrating.

I know, I've done it 3 times in my life: college, grad school (young married) and grad school (non-traditional divorced).

Many of the tricks that worked when I could substitute time for money were simply infeasible when I was under so much pressure.

What have you found that helped you through these times of [no time] AND [no money]?

It's been a long time since I was a student, but one of the things I did due to lack of money was instead of paper towels and napkins I used damp washcloths. Unknowingly, I was helping the environment too by not contributing to the landfills as much.
