When I was a student we used to get grants - the government actually gave us money to study, and paid all our fees. Nevertheless, at the beginning of one term I managed somehow to lose the whole term's grant money in a poker game - the last time I've ever played poker. I managed to arrange a miniscule overdraft with the bank - this was a long time before the days of student loans - and for the rest of that term lived only on potatoes. I managed to make things even worse by being caught fare-dodging and had to pay a fine, plus court costs for that one. Losing all your money at a young age is a quick & dirty way of wising up to the harsh realities! I still haven't fessed up to my remaining parent...
