9000 GBP personal loan. And 6000 GBP Student loan.

Keep deferring Student loan, just need to make it to the age of 50 earning under the limit 12 000 GBP a year, and they'll cancel the debt for me. Only another 21 years to go.

That's juicy girl debt.

Do you ever download any of the HTVODs? Riley's last appearance is available.

Huh?

juicy girl debt - you spend 600 bucks at a juicy bar, and by the time you pay it off you're back at the bar again.

being in debt sucks, I was once there. It's best to pay it off. For a long time I held a student loan and wouldn't pay it off, but then the US gov caught up with me and was about to garnish my pay so I had to pay it. Bad decison left over my angry young man days - I ended up paying 7500 in interest on 7500 in loans. What a waste.

Working in a video store wasn't going to put me through university, and neither was pounding steel.


I paid all my expenses (rent, bills, food, tuition) for the final year of university by working in a video store. True story.

Debt: $21,422.87 CAD
Assets: ~$13,000 CAD

I have until the end of December to pay off the loan without interest or I'd have less debt and no assets.

I'm going to teachers college in NZ starting in July, and I'll be in Korea working until March. I'll have my tuition paid for with my savings but I imagine I'll take a $15 000 CAD line of credit for living expenses over the course of the year. I don't want to live like a bum.

About $65,000-all student loans, no credit card debt and my car is paid for. It'll probably take me 30+ years to pay it off, but I don't really care.

i got maybe 12 or 13k GBP in student loans I could pay it off now but I been making more money on the stock market with that money than I pay in interest on the the debt so i'd be a fool to pay it back, although i admit times have been a little tough recently because of the americans cocking up their lending practices and giving investors the gitters
