Scared to Check My Bank Balance

'Money, Money, Money, must be funny, in a rich man's world'

Seriously, the aspect of money is bound to be funny for a rich guy, he just walks up to an atm, checks his a billion figure bank balance, then has a wee chuckle to himself at the poor student beside him who is driven to an emotional breakdown from her own pathetic balance! Seriously I am that student, it’s horrible.

I hate checking my bank balance; I think it is an actual fear! Every time I got to do it I get nervous, my heart beats faster and I have a wee mini panic attack inside. It’s horrible!

Students have it the worse, trying to live our lives before we have to settle down into the working world, get married and have kids. We don't want to be sitting at thirty years old, in a well-paid job thinking to ourselves about all the stuff we could have been doing but just don't have any time for now.  Money only stretches so far. I know we all get loans but then all we have on our minds is the aspect of being in thousands and thousands of pounds worth of debt.

My bank offered to send me a text each time my bank balance went below £100. The smart, money cautious person would have said yes. Me? Well no way did I want that!!! I would freak out once the message came through and then run to the bank machine just to make sure the text message wasn’t lying!

Why can't we all just be millionaires???
