    Thankyou but dont worry im not applying for one. I dont want a credit card as such as it would get over used.



    HAHAHA :rotfl: the pros and cons of teenage life, but not quite. Working/living in London is very expensive even when your not paying the rent (or atleast not full whack). There is travel (both into the city and to other counties as this is where my friends live), food, rent, phone bill/internet, A levels which I am currently paying for through distance learning and weekends which can mount up. Apart from that im just useless at saving up if its unspoken for..

    Sounds more like you're a liar

    Thanks for the entertainment

    Thanks for the reply, I found that a great help. Your obviously an idiot. Im guessing you dont get out much either that or your very narrowminded about the price of living and socializing.

    Thanks Loanranger & DCFC79 I think I will wait till I have enough money as credit is looking pretty dangerous.

    If you start out on the debt addiction trail at the age of 19 you will have a very unhappy life ahead of you,,,debt is a thing to be avoided at all costs,,i wish they taught this at schools.. debt is a life of misery if it gets out of hand..
    i am now 47 and i have never had a credit card i have never had a loan, including mortgage and i do own a house... its hard work but very rewarding staying out of debt..
    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.
  • i wish i had never even seen credit cards or loans
    i started really young with them and then had a wild 5 years and now when i look back they werent really that wild and if i didnt have the money to pay back now i would be having a much wilder time!!!!!
