    Hah. It’s more that I was working in a country that was weak against the pound, and that for some reason SLC charges way higher when you’re working abroad.

    So whatever I was earning, half would go to rent, a quarter would go to the loan (once you factored in the exchange rate), and I’d have that glorious other quarter to myself.

    I am doing better than most I would say, but I also have a sewing machine and have learned through time how to patch my clothes, if that answers your question




  • Wow, good tips thank you. I guess I’ll start paying more into my pension. My pension is currently tied to my workplace, and I’ve always been wary of paying into it more just in case I can’t take it with me if I work elsewhere.

    Is that the case? Can I take my company pension with me? Or that just stays in the company and I can’t take it with me when I work somewhere else
