Young and in debt.. Help!

You mentioned needing to buy books for uni every now and again, are there any of your old books that you can sell? Also selling some of your CD's/DVD's and general ebay madness might go some way to getting a bit more income until you have found a second job?

Wow jamie... your story has scared me a bit and made me really want to take action! thanks...

I am only at uni a couple of days a week so I just drive to the station yeh. Apart from that I use for my car for general going about, but I do need it as I work 20 mins away and sometimes have 6am starts so can't always rely on lifts...

Yeh i really am starting to wonder how I will afford the car in the long term especially if things do go wrong... I am going to look at selling it and see if theres a cheap one i can run around in... as much as it pains me lol

Sounds like the right thing to do to me
Imagine how it will feel in a few years, having finished uni, no debt, compared to how it could be.

Some years ago my car was getting on a bit I decided to insure it third party instead of fully comp. I was quoted £172 I asked what it would be if I took my OH off as a named driver since she never drove the car,I was quoted £195. If you do sell your car in future get a quote with your mum as a named driver and you as the policy holder.

haha jas as good as it sounds I can't quite see myself cycling along the m8 at 5.30am! lol :P

Just gonna spend this afternoon looking into selling it and buying a cheap one, or maybe trying to reduce my insurance (unlikely)
