A helping hand

Today the paper came with a section entitled “How to go to university without going broke”. Interested to read of a subject that has been on my mind lately (apparently if I try and live off my student loan I’ll have around ten pounds a month left over after rent), I flicked through, hoping for something useful.

Apparently the biggest tip they had was to find a bank account with a big overdraft and find a good student credit card. I guess the old idiom “in for a penny, in for a pound” must apply to debt, too.

Currently listening to Radiohead – Bullet Proof… I Wish I Was.

Student overdrafts usually have a 0% APR, which is ideal. When you’re not using your full overdraft, put it into a high-interest savings account. You will make money.

Using the above method funded my wife’s engagement ring. Yeah!
