So you want to become a millionaire but have trouble balancing studying and making money.

You’re probably on a tight budget, cramming for exams, living off cup noodles, and questioning whether going to college was the right decision in the first place.

And I hate to say it but you could be right to wonder.

So let’s get into it.
