i just applied for my student bank account and i didn't get an overdraft because i don't want to go into money i don't have. was this a bad idea?
does everyone use their overdraft?

Getting an overdraft is a pretty bad idea and should be avoided if possible. It would be far better to get your parents or someone similar to be there for you if you suddenly find yourself in a cash crisis.

On the other hand, overdrafts offered by student bank accounts are quite "good", because they sometimes don't charge you interest on borrowing and other plusses, but this depends on the bank.

Credit blows, if you dont have money for something you probably do not need w.e it is that badly.

wont matter if you have money in their

dpends, its a good idea not to, because depending on the terms of the overdraft you may get interest when your in it.

until you have a proper job you shouldnt be spending money that you dont have
