I currently have 10,000 and I am trying to save up to 15,000 for my exchange in October. Are there any tips/investments to achieve this?

Sounds this 10k is something you cannot lose since you need it for your exchange program. Investing comes with risks. If that's the case, my suggestion is to continue saving more money.

I hope you managed to hit your target.

​

Considering that you had 7 months period to earn 5k, that is equivalent to $714 per month.

​

To get that amount, you can probably do carousell, part time job at $8 per hour which is 90 hours per month such as banquet, barista, FnB, being packers for ecommerce companies, delivery job and many more.

I write cool stuff about personal finance and money-saving hacks here.

To OP - with benefit of hindsight - did you make the 15k goal? How did you do it?

Very short time frame to invest and grow into $15k!! Try to take up freelance work like Grab delivery. Normal part time jobs usually pay less than $15/hr!

You need average $714/mth to achieve yout financial goal!

If you have skills, find a freelance job that offers good offers. Its killing two birds in one stone. Not only you get to showcase your talent/skills, you also get to money!
