    Do you genuinely have £69 in your bank account or is this a blatent and, frankly, unfunny sexual reference?

    18.

    Current account:26p
    Savings:7p

    :mad:

    Selling my car soon so that should fetch me at least £1000 which I'll be putting aside. I should be getting around £700 at the end of August from working full time (as long as the weathers decent) so I'll have a decent amount to take to uni with me, but for now I'm broke as ****.

    I am 16 and I have got about £12,000 cash in two cash ISAs (one in my name, one in my mum's) although the money in there is mine. Also about £6,000 in goods/stock which I have bought.
    When I was around 14 I started a small business importing electronics from China and then re-selling online, and that's how I earnt my 'fortune' - also no tax paid which saved me some money. I also sell a little bit on gumtree, which saves me money as its free to list.
    I don't really have any expenses like food, gas, rent etc. so I guess that helped me to save a bit.

    edit: why the negs? :confused:
    What sort of electronics did you sell and did you sell them on eBay?
