I know what you mean Stacy, if I'd started working full time when I was 18 and not gone to uni I'd have had no debt. I doubt I'd have got anything on credit, and I saved 2k when I was working p/t at college as I was a real saver back then. As it is my job is crap and I'd be earning the same degree or not, plus I'd have had nearly 6 years working and would probably have been able to save enough for ahouse deposit by now *sigh*.Finally bought a homeStarting mortgage £289,500 31.01.19 - Current outstanding £189,497.12Overpayments since 27.03.19: £53,964.80Moving fund so far £2500 - Premium bonds £9,5000
