    Couldn't you just save for 3 months and then you wouldn't have to go into debt? Much easier on the nerves.

    Does seem like a ridiculously obvious answer...!

  • But would getting a loan not help to build my cedit up?

    Obviously don't want a mortage now, but in years to come i will & thought it would was something i should start thinking about.
  • No I would just save if you can. If you haven't got any family to pay for, you should be able to save that. And if you haven't needed to get a loan by the time you want a mortgage, it shows you are prudent as you save a lot. Plus, I don't want to be a doom monger, but you never know if you will be able to repay the loan in this unstable jobs market!
