“ The average student leaves higher education owing £12,069 through credit cards, bank and student loans, research by Barclays bank discovered. ” – BBC News, 5 May 2004
Some students would be very happy with graduating with only the "average" £12,069, yet this is still a scary sum for many individuals. If you are:
- A student at university in the UK
- Worried about the consequences of debt on your life after university
- Searching for a cost effective way to learn what they never taught you in school
- Fed up of snippets of advice from here, there and everywhere
- Prepared to take control of your finances and change your future
...we have the solution.
The Student Finance Vigilante is your guide to fighting back against debt. Whether you are just joining university or are a veteran student, we have the help you need to make a difference to your debt.
What if you could save £1,000 from the total of your debt over three years of university? That is a significant amount off the average student debt. What if that saved you from a decade of paying off your debt after university? How much is ten years of your life worth? What if you could save more - £2,000, or £5,000?
We have created a suite of products, including an e-book, that we are giving away for only £10 to help you do exactly that – decrease your eventual debt. We aim to do this through three key methods:
- Change your mindset: The national curriculum does not provide for education on finances, and the UK is over £1,000,000,000,000 in debt. We will show you how to change your mindset to reverse your way back up the slippery slope.
- Practical advice: Too many financial books take either the "guru" approach or the "dry theory" approach when considering finance. We believe neither is appropriate. We will give you the theories to change your lifestyle but we will tell you real life examples that you can implement within the hour to save you money or make you money.
- Practical tools: We've not left it at advice, but gone the whole step towards creating for you a complete tool to manage your finances. This is fully tailored to fit the UK student experience and will allow you not only to budget and track your expenditure, but to see a projection of your estimated bank balance at the end of university with current spending patterns!
What's an e-book? An e-book is an electronic document that you can read on your computer much as you are reading this webpage right now. We have produced The Student Finance Vigilante as an e-book to keep costs low for you, whilst seeing this as a practical tool that you can learn from your PC. It makes the perfect gift: for yourself, or for your friends. You can even opt to buy as a present from the 'buy' page.
Who Is The Student Finance Vigilante? It is the reader who is prepared to take their life into their own hands, to stop complaining about rising costs and tackle the Student Finance issue head on. We will give you the armoury of knowledge to become Student Finance Vigilantes and reclaim the streets from financial fear.
