hi, something I only realised recently (after having a YPR for 6yrs) you can get a reduced price off-peak travelcard.
Take your card to any London Underground ticket office after 09:30am or any time at the weekend and you can get a zones 1-6 card for approx £4.80 instead of £6.30, this means you can then use this to travel on the overground trains within the zones and if you wish to travel outside the zones you only get charged from the last station in zone 6 that you pass through (i'm 90% certain on this last point best to ask when you but it to make sure)
Wish i'd known this years ago, I'd have saved soooo much

You can get them at overground stations aswell. The SWT ticket machines usually have a button for a young persons railcard discount when getting a travelcard.0
