I took out an £12,000 student loan over the course of 4 years, which was used soley for ISA investment, as my parents/other savings paid my way whilst I was there. So - I owe that £12,000 plus interest, which really isn't a lot on a student loan. No credit cards, no other loans, no repayments, and a huge starting salary at my first job post graduation.
Suffice to say - I'm fairly content at the moment
(Really should pay that £400 off though 
)
This for real?EVH said:What get's my goat is the advice they gave out on the radio the other day..
Financial advisors are advising students to go over their max limits by borrowing and spending like crazy while they're in uni.
Then, when they finish uni declare themselves bankrupt.
Take a year out (9 months of which you're technically bankrupt), then when the debt is cleared you're free to carry on working life, not owing a penny!
