I am terrible with my student loan, I'd probably end up spending that $1000 fairly quickly. It's not a very great amount of money and seeing as I have no income aside from student loans it would likely go on food and emergency stuff relatively quickly.

When I have an actual income tho I am usually pretty good with saving. Ideally, I'd like to save like 50% of my wages. This isn't very likely at all, but would be amazing. When I get a "real" job, I'm planning to save as much as possible. I guess if I was super frugal and already had a strict savings routine I'd be tempted to spend the £1k on something nice.
