OK. I've just come to the end of my first year at Uni. I'm about to go and work somewhere for the next 4/5 months until the next year commences. I opened a student account with Abbey National, which offered an overdraft of £1025. Which was nice. Currently I am at -£500...which means I have £525 left on my overdraft.

Now, I could look at this two ways:
1. I am gipsy poor and should work my butt off to pay it back.
2. I have £525.

So what should I do? Save my money and become a Scrooge, or go on a spree - like Brewster's Millions? I'm thinking of getting a Gamecube already!

I've done the whole student thing. I was in debt with the bank and I am still in debt with Student loans.

However.

You've got plenty of time when you've finished your course to fret needlessly about financial strife.

Leave that to your parents and buy yourself a monkey.

Don't buy a GameCube, you muppet. Bet you the missus would go spare if you did, with good reason too I might add.

Don't think so as the good old UK taxes make it that little bit more expensive for us. Not fair but thats the way it is, so go spend some money.

That's like saying "Why not sell a lung to feed your smoking habit". I love my guitars. Plus they wouldn't fetch much because I beat them so much. I hate my guitars also.
