Not sure ( purely selfishly), how I'll get my youngest lad thro uni now with the bastards scrapping the maintenance grant. I know there's people in far worse situations, but....


My post seems to have indigestion, is repeating on itself. This budget seems to be hitting the poorest people hardest. I'm not fully up on the current criteria for maintenance grants as I thought all student loans only had to be repaid once the graduate started earning over a certain amount. As it happens neither of my sons went to university - I was a single mum living from one month's salary to the next. They did all the annoying things young men do but turned out fine eventually.

I know he'll be ok tjj. It's just that he'll worry about the money side of it I suppose. They give the maintenance grant to low income kids, on top of the student loan,( which I only discovered recently won't cover living expenses, which I naively thought it would.) Anyway we'll muddle through. He's my youngest of three boys, the other two didn't go to uni. In fact my middle son barely attended bloody school given half a chance, the bloody sod, but he's the most sorted of the lot so far!
