If you want to trade up to a more mature model I can offer the following:

19 year old at University... benefits just ceased because he is 19, costs me £1150 per year in tuition fees, £1200 in making up student loan that he can't borrow from the government because I earn too much ( I Wish). Plus the £1200 per year I have been giving him for school dinners and busfares for the last couple of years.

On the plus side now he is living away I don't have to feed him daily but he does come home with a large bag of washing and raids the freezer for good stuff to take back to college.


Or

17 year old daughter,you still get the £16.10 plus £10.45 you get for a one year old BUT said daughter has expensive tastes in Shampoo etc, spends hours in the bath most days and has a tendency to leave lights, TVs etc on wherever she goes. She has just passed her driving test so no more lifts required but the car plus insurance etc cost me over £1000.

This is to be taken tongue in cheek, I had children because i wanted them, when I was a single parent I didn't get any help with anything so I got a job. I sometimes get a twinge of the old green eyed monster when I hear about Teflon Tony and Uncle Gordon giving out titbits to encourage parents to work but on the whole my life has been pretty good so far and if I can just get through the next three and a half years of 2 at University I will probably be able to drop the nearly from my user name.

sorry but pmsl, @ nearly rich.

You cant be that hard up if you can afford to buy and insure a car for your daughter!!

Most of us had to get a job and save up to buy our first motor... :-/

Sorry, I know it was tongue in cheek and dont want to get all serious, but if it was my daughter she'd have a saturday job if she wants to buy expensive shampoos etc, and would pay some housekeeping (sure she'd learn the value of leaving the lights, TV etc on then)...

I really meant it when I said take it tongue in cheek, she has got a part time job and after many years of nagging we  get about 80% of lights and TV's turned off. The shampoo habit is taken care of with BOGOFS and lucky finds in Boots with points of course.

The car, long story, not one I can tell on here really but suffice it to say my ex bought one for her brother and she fell out with her dad, with good reason, when she was 9. He treats her like an adult he fell out with so not even a birthday card since so no chance of him buying her a car. She can't drive mine because it's a company car and has restrictions on young and inexperienced drivers.

The car cost less than £250, it had just passed an MOT so it should last for a while and it is taxed till mid next year , insurance is expensive when you pass at first but she is happy to be mobile and it's good to know she isn't waiting for buses in the rain.  My one stipulation was that she has to have next years insurance and tax saved up for when it is due.

I didn't actually say I was skint just that I might drop the nearly from my user name once they both get through university in 3 and a half years. I am sure that if or when you have children you will want then to have more than you did, I did that's why I got a job when I became a single parent.
