Student budget

Repped...

I didn't budget at all at uni - I just worked my arse off. A word of advice - only do a Master's if you're prepared for the crippling debt that'll follow you for the next 10 years.

I got a letter from the Student Loans Company today confirming I'd paid off my undergraduate loan - now it's time to start paying the MSc. I'm just shy of 29... FML?

Not quite mooks, think of all the poor fools at uni now, who have debts twice as big as your undergraduate debt. Most may never finish paying it off.

velolibre - if you're getting that much from your parents, why bother with the student loan? I'm in a similar boat (replace parents with grandparents) and I'm getting by fine without any help from the government.

Also, don't budget like that, it makes life boring. You'll have more disposable income as a student than you will have for quite some time.
