I owe more wealth than I own

I've just looked it up - all student loan debts are written off on death.

So it's not a proper debt, just a graduate tax applied if you earn more than the threshold.

that makes no difference, again, just a repayment term, in effect its a debt with a 100% life insurance policy attached and a 100% long stop guarantee (these are provided by the Government to the student loan company by the way of a guarantee).

but we're arguing the finer points of accounting, for real world application, its a tax on employment, one which I am glad I have fully repaid!

and the windows are amazing, quite like Windsor castle really!

Haha, it might have been cheaper if I did.

We have stone mullioned windows, very much like these:

So each window is really three or four windows (as far as a glazier is concered anyway). We have something like 18 windows in the farmhouse or 54 frames/panes. We also fitted powder coated stainless steel frames, and they weren't cheap, I can tell you!

You're forgiven.

For one awful moment I thought you'd spent £28k on

It's also cancelled when you reach 65 or 25/30 years after you became eligible to repay depending on when loan was taken out.

We went with black steel that really complements a sandstone industrial building. A bit like this, but smaller windows:
