I've recently regretted how shit with money I was in my twenties.
If I knew then what I know now etc etc.

Considering I made it through uni with no debts at all
(old enough to have had student grant and Dad subsideised a lot) I am suprisingly poor.

DJTP racked up no end of student loans, never got more than a firm handshake from our dad, and is now debt-free and as far as I can tell, pretty well sorted. I mean, there has to be some money there for him to get picked up by a pikey scouser, right?

I came out of uni with about 15k of debt, and savings blown
My parents helped out where they could, but were also putting my sister through uni.
I'm still in debt, though a good chunk of that's down to credit card stupidity...

Being half-Scottish/Half-Yorkshireman
means he doesn't share the wealth with me.

I jest, he's taking me somewhere nice next week. It does make me laugh when he thinks he's 'skint', and still has more left than I have to spend in a month.

I have to warn you now, I intend to sponge off him when I'm old.

What about me?
I have no pension! Well I do, but it's your brother.

I had a flat in lieu of a pension
but I had to sell it. Now all I have is a sugar daddy. And a rich brother. Don't worry about me, I'll be the bizarre relative in the attic that no-one talks about.

We'll just hear you 'playing tunes' in your bucket now and again.

But you never do know it until you're older. It'll be reet.
Also, being so phenomenally close to zero in January but still managing to eat and socialise has made me want to keep up the thriftiness. If I make the same efforts this month there'll be more money for nice things and no guilt.
