» My Greatest Regrets
Uni
My one and only regret is that I never got to experience the uni lifestyle. I'm doing a degree but I commute from home and simply drive there every day. I know it's totally impractical and a waste of money for me to do it but I really wish I cudda lived in dorms.
Luckily this is where my nightmare ends as my girlfriend is living at uni (in a house, not dorms) so I get to visit her nearly every week for 4 days or so and live it that way without any of the debt. Even better I'm joining the navy in about a year so I get to experience pretty much uni life and get paid for it.
I've tried to live my life with no regrets and I think anyone that is happy with themselves truly has no regrets. It's the things we do and the things that happen that make us who we are, I don't regret anything in my life because I like who I am today and I owe it to all my fuckups in the past :D
at least i can say mine is bigger than most on this page

» When I met the parents
Well
I've only ever met my g/fs parents 3 times and each time both me and g/f was totally pissed out our heads. I doubt I've made the best impression but meh, I'm poking their little angel with my stick of wonder so why should I care?

» Worst Nicknames Ever
The originality
My nickname in high school was Dave, God knows how they got that from David but thats kids for ya.
I was also called puppy dog in primary school cause I had chops like a puppy. Also in this area up north called Billinge everyone calls me Ozzy.
One of me mates had the best array of nicknames. His surname is Herrington which then went to Herring which then jumped somewhat weirdly to Ferret and thus Fezza and finally settling on the catchy FezRat.
I also used to call a girl 6357I13 cause she had it written on her hand once and I've never forgotten it :S

» Debt pron

Wow, I suddenly feel so much better after reading some of these stories.
I hate to say it but for most of you, you simply got what you deserved. I can accept if someone needs money to pay for life in general but I'm sure that's not the case for all the people owing daddy hundreds of pounds.
I'm 19 and I've never even considered getting a credit card or loan. I have a nice 4 figure sum of money in one account which I can spend at will on anything I want and another 4 figure sum that will cover any costs such as big expenses like cars, holidays etc. Now you're probably thinking I'm a little rich kid and my parents are the king and queen but my dad earnt less than 15K before he left work and my mum is part time earning scrapings.
The key is to SAVE DAMMIT SAVE, I have a wonderful social life and can afford all the luxuries I want after only having 1 part time job for a year. Thanks to one savings account I can keep up this life for about a year before I become a fireman hopefully or join the navy full time.
If I can do it then you guys have no excuse, it's not hard. Just don't go spending shed loads on crap you don't want or need. As arrogant as I sound I really do hope you all get out of debt soon and learn from your mistakes.
One last thing though, money to me means NOTHING, so long as I can live I am happy with the amount I have. My friend is taking a course at uni which he hates purely so he can get a job that pays well at the end. Only problem is he hates the subject and hates the job that he will eventually have and no doubt will kill him from stress. He loves the idea of having more money than most though even if it does mean he isn't happy. I however have chosen to do subjects I wanted to do and have had a laugh throughout all my life and as I've said, I hope to join the services of some kind in which education means nothing to a certain extent. I will have enough money to make me happy, a job I can be proud of and enjoy every day, my girlfriend who I love by my side, and no regrets what so ever. Who will be most content on their death bed I ask myself?!
Hopefully I'll be able to, maybe not change his mind but at least give him a new outlook on the true values in life.
Apologies for length but I saved it all up for this one
p.s. It's 7.10am and I ain't slept at all, does anyone know any cures for insomnia?
