There wouldn’t have been tuition fees when Emma went.
Plus, student debt isn’t real debt. It won’t affect things like your credit score or mortgage applications. It should be called a graduate tax imo
My student debt is around £30k, but I would never say I was in debt. However if I’d spent £20k on credit cards then I defo would!

It's the fact she says TWICE she got into 20K of debt. How did she manage that?!
She reminds me of my sister. She is crap with money. Spend, spend, spend. Got herself into a lot of debt in her 20's and 30's and so she has bad credit and can't get credit cards or store cards. Everything has to go into her husband's name.
When you look at all the kids clothes, Disney ears, mugs etc Brummy buys, then I really don't think she can call herself 'tight'. She's obviously an overspender. I bet Stephen has to keep a keen eye on their outgoings!

Shocking. And the fact it’s TWICE! 40k in debt in 10 years. Ouch
I think she has been a good influencer with her paid partnership and #ad on each post. Also not always on #ad holidays!
I didn't kiss anyone till I was 18 - maybe I should have become an influencer! She dosent half talk shite let's face it! Seems she was a complete nightmare growing up!!! Everyone is desperately trying to keep her happy....
But this is Emma we are talking about....stretching the truth maybe?
But she wouldnt have had student debt at all.
Tuition fees weren’t introduced until 1998, and they were for students starting that year. If Brummy went to uni when she was 18, and she’s 41 now she wouldn’t have paid them as she would’ve started uni in 1995/6.
And they were only 3k back then, so would’ve only been 9k worth of debt.
I watched her video about her bad back. She first slipped a disc age 18. She talks about how she went to an all girls school, so didn’t mix with boys and had her first kiss at 18 but then she hurt her back and had to miss going to Uni etc and missed out on so much. Said it was a horrible time. Yeah I bet it was..for everyone around her!
She probably started Uni late as she first damaged her back age 18 and said she couldn’t go to Uni. But I would have thought she went age 19?
Still, she wouldn’t have paid fees unless she started after 1998, which seems unlikely
And even then, she would have only accumulated 9k of “debt” from that, so she still would’ve been 31k in debt from credit cards/loans etc
If you have a mortgage you don’t say you’re in debt, similarly if you went to uni and paid fees you don’t say that. Even though it is debt, it’s not negative debt and doesn’t impact on your credit history
Just had a little google and it says she did
PGCE eduction 2005
Med teaching 2007
Could that be when she qualified?
Not that it matters, I can see her spending it all of tat!
She would have got an undergraduate degree first.
I have done a similar load of qualifications to her, I did my degree in 1996 and graduated in 1999.
Then did PGCE in 2004 and MEd in 2007!
All paid for by government, it was all free education!

You have have an undergraduate degree to do your PGCE! She worked in PR before she qualified to be a teacher, so she would’ve been at uni long before then!Just had a little google and it says she did

But she’d have had to have paid for her PGCE unless she did one of those salaried placements!
She said she worked in PR from age 21 to 26 but she was crap at it! Never heard her mention what Uni she went to or what her Degree was in? But yeah she wouldn’t have paid back then.
So she started working age 21 and bought a house at 22 but stopped earning age 26 to do her teaching qualifications, so no wonder she got into debt as how did she pay her mortgage?
I bet bank of Nanny San and Grandad Rog had to help with her debt.

Yep, this sounds like the most likely scenario!
Love unmumsy mum. She's the antithesis of brummymummy. I've had contact with her in real life too, and she's the nicest person.
She definitely is!! They're friends I think? Maybe Brummy should start trying to emulate Sarah rather than Louise.
