When I was in school, I had to watch every dollar because my parents weren’t rich, I didn’t have a scholarship and I had student loans I’d have to eventually pay off. So I had to learn how to stretch my money in order to survive.

By the way, SCHOOL here is university/college.

Спасибо всем!!

I think Sasha’s translations are good, but too nice. Here the speaker is using the word CHEAP to describe themself, which is not a nice descriptive. I’d use жмот.

Студенческие годы научили меня быть прижимистым(?)

I'm ready to remove my translations if Elena publishes hers 😄

Александр, ни в коем случае, пожалуйста, не удаляйте 😃

Как скажете ))
