About $8,000-$10,000 saved
I worked full time at the Department of Finance for a year. Pretty much how I saved all my money.

Going to uni full time this year so I'll hopefully find a part time job and not eat into my savings

Money in bank: About $1500, likely less. Not quite sure at the moment.
Loans: HECS/HELP soon.
Job: N/A at this time, I haven't been able to find one yet :/.

All the money is just my "life" savings, i.e. just money I've been given for Christmas and birthdays throughout my life. I'm glad now that I never went and blew my money on lollies and junk or I'd have nothing at this stage. $1000 of that is in a term deposit though and I can't access it.

not sure about bank balance.....prob a few hundred well better be!
Loans: about to have a $18k car loan, over 5yrs, but gng to try and pay more off each week so i can do it over 3-3.5yrs.
Credit cards: all now merged into one, about $6500, plus ive got about $1150 left on the 18months interest free thing i got for my video camera and laptop.

Not a cent in savings....been really bad with money! Go from nothing at uni to working and not really knowing wher the fuck it goes.

Once i got my car, i will only pay about $50 a wk in board but at moment i pay $130pw in rent.

Other than that, i got the private health insurance and stupid union fees...which you cant go without being a nurse...just in case some idiot decides to sue you.
