I have a credit card to pay off and a loan, both totalling £700 altogether. (I know it's not a huge amount! But I'm a student with a part time job only 4hrs a week and have to pay rent and bills, food, essentials etc.
I can manage it but honestly without UC I'd be screwed.
Running up to Christmas I'm getting stressed because I'm going to be unable to afford a lot of things and my nov/dec payday is after Christmas too.
I'm studying Law so comforted to know in a few years I should qualify for quite a good paying traineeship with firm if I keep working hard! (Not comforter by the student loans stacking up meanwhile though!)
Anyone else in a similar position?
