    I have 45 pounds of 'available funds' meaning I'm 45 pounds away from using up my entire overdraft :/

    About £4k in current account and about £180k offshore. I'm keeping that for a house when I graduate though. My university just gave me £800 in bursaries because they think I'm poor
    Well, the joke's on you, as you're only depriving your university and coursemates of funds.

    I'm about £500 into my overdraft but I have roughly £20 000 in a savings account for when I graduate. Bit of that would come in bloody handy right now though...

    No, I do believe you. It's not that unusual to be honest.

    For the record, I got negged for stating my own savings too. It seems being financially solvent while at university is a very big no-no and you're supposed to be 105% broke or it doesn't count.

    Not really a joke on them when it has zero effect on them, the uni or their course mates (universities deal in millions, £800 is literally pocket change).

    As to the original question, -£2800 at the moment. If my only major interest wasn't so expensive (travelling) I'd probably have around £20k though! Kind of shocking when you look at it like that...

    Re: How Much Money do You Have in the Bank?
    Student account - £497 overdrawn (my limit is £500)
    Current account - 34p
    Building society account - £2.50
    Wallet - £5.35

    So basically around a tenner, but i always get a fair bit of money for christmas which should make the figure respectable again I really shouldn't need to enter my overdraft next term because i'm getting a bursary, my rent will be cheaper, theres no christmas presents to buy, i'll be getting plenty of money as it'll be my 21st birthday and i won't have to spend £500 the second my loan comes in.

    I don't know, and I'm glad I don't know. I probably wouldn't be happy about it.
