Question for Uni students or those with student loans

[The Pastor]

I just wrote $960 for petrol and $30 "in case petrol goes up"

And they gave it to me.

HAH! and using that mone for fines...

[smoky]

So I've hung around in NZ long enough to get that whole interest-free student loan going on. I've heard of people doing the `course-related costs' thing to borrow the max $1000 to get a scooter, or pay for speeding tickets, or whatever.

Can somebody tell me what I should do?

Debt is dumb dont do it - and if your interested I'll teach you how to make your bike payments interest free so you pay it off much quicker.
Then I can show you how to stay out of debt.
PM me if you want and I'll send you some info.

Hahahaha I like that one. Rep given

You should've written `in case I put my calipers back-to-front and need a new brake disc' as well

It's my mum I owe money to, and she's interest free anyway. $1k is a drop in the ocean compared to what my debt will be like once I graduate, so it's moot really.

I appreciate the advice, though. Had a credit card for a couple of months. Not doing that again. I hate debt, it shits me.

Ahh mum with the loan ... reminds me of the old saying ...

Keep your friends and family close, but keep your enemies closer still!

No relevance whatsoever, just getting into the spirit of our kung pao chicken shlock!

I have a job, but it's the usual student restaurant thing so it'll be ages before I pay her back. $1k is pretty small compared to the total my loan will be by the end, and it gets paid back in my taxes anyway once I start work, so I'm not fussed.

$50 per week re-payment (based on about $40K/yr)......how long is it going to take to pay back that extra $1K.
Why not get a small bank loan, or an interest free OD for say $500.....pay back your mum $500.....and force yourself to repay the debt though weekly repayments from your job.
Sorry for being paranoid. But i don't believe these interest free student loans are going to last very long.
+ if you have to repay now, you will respect its value more.
