Graduate Student Finance

I'm just updating my details for my student finance as a graduate. I believe I need to do this to make sure I'm being charged the right amount of interest and such.

I've got to the section where I'm asked how I'm being supported financially. I am not currently working, and I live at home, but I pay for things out of my savings (though I do not pay my parents rent).

Do I say that I am supporting myself from savings, or do I say I am being supported by a relative (in this case my parents)? How does my answer effect my student finance repayments?

Thank you!
