Come in Skint students!
 
I'm a fellow skint student. I want to go skating but that means I can't go out with brother and his girl on sunday! I have £15 to my name and the skate rink costs £6 and travel £4.50 per time :(

Gahh I hate being a skint student and can't find a job for toffee...

If you found a job for toffee it probably wouldnt help either :(

RainbowsAndButterflies 29-07-2010 12:02 PM

rockaroni 29-07-2010 12:08 PM

Mmm I have about -£1400. Note the minus. I really hope they'll extend my overdraft in September. No idea how the hell I'll ever pay it back... I wish the job market was more open to students :(

RainbowsAndButterflies 29-07-2010 12:14 PM

lol now just been asked how do I fancy skating tomorow with a few old mates... grrrr.

Hoping mum will give me £10 if not i'm screwed lol

I have... an overdraft. But at least I have a job, cripplingly boring that it is. But currently just throwing money at my blackhole of an overdraft.

MA next year. They don't do student loans for MAs, so am having to take out a bank loan. I'm going to die educated and penniless... *sob*

I'm one of the lucky one's who's managed a job, however, I didn't get my last student loan because of temporarily withdrawing from uni.

Currently on £40-£60 a week, if I'm lucky, and it's bullshit, due to bills, bills, bills, and places I have to be and needing money for a festival and blahhhhh.

Is however much better than when I had no job, and no money for food just before I got this job, I survived that last week on a hand out from Flem's mum, and I continue to only be able to survive thanks to Flem and her parents helping me out when I lost one of the two small jobs I got.

I feel for you guys.

Tehe :P

Being a skint student sucks, but I'm really lucky that my job from last year was happy to take me back for a bit this Summer.. Sadly all of the money I'm earning is going on trying to pay off my overdraft.. So technically I have no money.. but the bank does.. and I'm spending theirs. Haha. Oh :(

Vlad 29-07-2010 02:52 PM

I'm pretty skint just now.
My account has a grand total of £7.44 in it and I've been searching for a job since before Christmas and just nowhere is actually wanting new staff.

Bleeding Angel 29-07-2010 03:31 PM

by the end of aug i should have about £2300 odd, However thats all my tuition fee money for 2 years so i just about broke even at the start of sep the joys ha ha.

All I know is falling. 29-07-2010 03:36 PM

I kind of have a job. 40 dollars a week to babysit.

I'm getting like...5000 or so soon, but that's all for school
:(

At least until the sixth or seventh week of school, then they're going to send me whatever is left over to me to keep!!!

monket 29-07-2010 07:31 PM

I know how you feel. I've got $1.60 left on me now till payday, and when I do get paid pretty much all of it but $50 will be for rent and bills.

Lame.

what_the? 29-07-2010 09:26 PM

I'm not in my overdraft, by £1.87. Good times. My grant took me out of my overdraft, so now I'm doing my internship during the week and working all hours at weekends, I need to pay my rent on Monday. Bad times. Thank god for final year sized overdraft.

I wish money really did grow on trees, or that rather than working for toffee you could pay bills in it!

:( been there and paying fees SUCKS! i havent recovered (then the uni had the nerve to ask me to self fund to go on after!). i saved up parts of my loans over my student life only to waste it on MA studnet life (and this time not on the fun student stuff!). might have been better to just beg, wouldnt have so much debt then :(
