They live a kind of semi-rich lifestyle but we actually aren't rich. They just know how to budget money properly.

Your parents must be wealthy enough to give you £150 a month or less you work. I would never dare ask my mum for £150 because I know she hasn't got that much, not like were poor and we've never been in "poverty" but the line isn't too far away...

No they aren't. They just get a good job.

Maybe not every month it depends. I always get like £200 at my birthday from people.

Lol.

Well, you're not going to live the life your parents are accustomed to immediately unless they are willing to support you once you move out - which they may well, I don't know. Working hard is the most important thing, as I'm sure your parents will tell you.

No I want a richer life than them and I don't want them to support me that would be an insult.

I want to travel travel travel.

Funny, you always measure everything in weeks, we do in months.

And i'm not really rich.

Loads of students I know have new golfs and new renaults. I even know one boy with a mini cooper.

I was gonna buy a car and all I could afford was the car because the insurance was £5000. So I will just insure my dads car.

Its not really worth it. Plus I would need to get saving for flying.

Ok, a studio, your own peace and quiet, independence... Sounds good. Good luck!

It's awesome when you first live on your own. Then you realise you have to pay for everything and end up living on baked beans and super noodles because you've spent all of your money going out! Or maybe that was me lol!
Sometimes you have to learn the hard way.

I kind of miss being 18. Other than not having much money it's a laugh, especially if your mates are nearby. I certainly didn't imagine that I'd have what I have now when I was 18 though.
