Lloyds Bank have asked us to find out what Mumsnetters wish they had known about personal finances when they first became financially independent.

So, what do you wish you'd known? Maybe you didn't quite appreciate how expensive buying a house would be. Maybe you didn't think about saving when you were younger. Perhaps you wish you'd known how best to invest your savings. Or did you find it all quite easy? We'd love to hear your stories!

Everyone who posts on this thread will be entered into a prize draw to win a £300 Love2Shop voucher!

Thanks

So many things!!! Even though i'm NOW a great saver. I wish i'd been taught how to manage money in school!
My main rule in life is "don't spend money you don't have!" HP should be criminal! If you don't have the money in the bank, put it down and back away slowly!!
