    What are you on about? Are you that low that you have to start making personal comments now?

    Not personal, just realising where your money is going.

    Just thinking outside the box here but have you considered paying your loans off and saving up for a car? Just an idea I thought of.



    P.S. I don't have a problem with any of my replies and will sleep like a log tonight ;)

    That comment had nothing to do with money and was just a personal jibe. Good on ya...

    Well you make your own mind up with what was meant. Your brain sounds frazzled with all these loans as it is so understandable.

    Sorry dstev, I feel partly responsible for mentioning her.

    Lol don't worry about it, the actual comment doesn't bother me, I just can't understand why they feel the need to get personal.

    It's not personal. It's people asking about your financial situation.

    If your girlfriend is contributing to household expenses, bills etc, the replies would have been a whole lot different. Taking these figures into account would change things completely.

    You're very defensive, you asked for advice, you got it. If you don't like it, ignore it.

    How is "you keeping her aswell?" not personal.

    Anyway who cares, I've spent far too long arguing with people sitting behind their computers already.

    It means "are you paying her expenses aswell ?" It's a question, not an insult.

    I took out a loan for my wedding. We had an amazing time.
    I've now paid it off.

    dstev, if I may, I believe you are very unlikely to get the loan for £15k and think you can get very reasonable cars for under £5k. Would this be an option?

    Please listen to some of the posters on here. Even better, please pop over the the DFW board and read a few of the stories on there.
