    I stated that I did NOT have a student loan, because they didn't exist at that time.


    You know what that means? I was at Uni before the Student Loans Company started, dear child.



    So, please explain to me how I am wrong because it appears you've made up another one of your famous fantasies.
    Ok, so that's not how I understood your original post. No that you've said it's not about student loans, I have no idea WTF you're talking about.

    Dementia kicking in is it, 'old man'?

    You're not far wrong. In 95 a year out of Uni I owed about 5k in Student Loans and was about 3k overdrawn.

    By the end of 97 I'd bought my first house having borrowed the deposit of my mum, quit my job, started contracting, cleared all my loans and had 10k in the bank.

    Contracting was the best thing I'd done.
