I feel like I am going to get a huge amount of abuse but here goes...I am almost 20 and I have a RR!
I have worked since I was 16 and everything I do is funded from my own hard work and my parents do not support me at all regarding the cost of university living! I pay for EVERYTHING with my car (tax, mot, insurance, petrol, services etc...). My parents treated me and I cannot put into words how grateful I am!
Nonetheless I completely agree with the original post...I get quite a lot of stick from uni friends for my car but its coming from people whose parents pay for everything while their at university! on average £12 grand a year!! including tuition, accommodation and costs. These people are 20 years old and they rely on their parents that much which makes me slightly embarassed
If you cannot learn to live on a budget at uni then when will they!

Why would you get abuse
Your money, your car, good on you for budgeting and working to get it

Totally agree with this!
FWIW I was brought a car when I was 17 with several conditions imposed:
I insured it myself.
I taxed it myself.
I filled it with petrol.
Any repair bills were mine.
My brother was having the car when he turned 17 so I had 18months to save for my next car.
None of which I found unfair, my parents helped where they could. Yet my mum's friend claimed my brother and I were spoilt. Her two daughters both drive brand new disability cars, one daughter has manipulated the mental health services's into getting what she wants and the other has "severe" cerebal palsy yet goes on mountain walks?! Needless to say both have been reported for benefit fraud. I, on the otherhand am selling my car I brought to revert back to driving my first car after my brother inherited our granddads car.

Some people don't have to 'stand on their own feet', they live very comfortably on allowances that would make many good salaries seem like chicken feed. Tis another world.
