Request for a Money Saving Article

libertino

Does Martin do requests? If so, it would be great if he could write a guide for students about to finish at university and (hopefully) get their first full time job and live in their own non-student non-shared accommodation. Things like tax returns, council tax, income tax, any kind of tax!, insurance, pensions, changing from a student bank account, bills, how to wash... all these things we've not had to worry about until now that I'm scared are suddenly going to hit us when we're not students any more and we enter the big wide world! Just the basics or a crash course would be really helpful in the next month or two when looking ahead to post-graduation days.

If you have a look at the Resource Bar on the Student Board you'll find Martin's articles that are targeted at students.

Most of the things you have mentioned already have their own boards re pensions, tax, utilities etc.

Yes I know of the articles that are targetted at students, what I'm looking for (and haven't yet found so have requested that it's created) is an article aimed at graduates, or people starting a full time job/getting their own place for the first time. All the basics in one article. Pensions, tax, utilities do have their own boards/articles, but a guide to tell us to look at them would be very helpful. There will surely be other things I haven't considered, or other taxes I've never even heard of, and without being told about them I wouldn't think to find the articles on them. A real beginners' guide to the basics of paying your way in the big wide world, and what you need to consider you'll have to pay and the best way to do it.

Just wondering if there'd be any chance of this now, at a time when most students are going through their finals?
