Congrats, wizardPC!! I'm a student at the mo, with a credit card. I learned from my parents what to do and what not to do...buy things on the card etc. I clear my Mastercard about every two months, and they have tried to up the credit limit, which I had the official at the bank make a note on my account to not let it exceed €xxx, that was where it helped! Only use it for buying stuff online (car parts 99.9%), and for the odd dinner out. I know how it feels having repayments, not nice, but I've got about €5k over 5 years on my 'student loan' (read car lol), which is perfectly manageable on + - €16k/year.
Many many congrats wizardPC, a fountain of knowledge there that I hope others take note of!!
