I was an apprentice too, we earn far far too much lol! in 4 years he'll be coming out debt free and with a decent set of qualifications.

1/3 is what my olds wanted, however i struck up a deal and proved that i was paying into a 'fake mortgauge' so as to get my foot on the ladder. worked too.
i still paid my olds £150 a month to help with food etc (that i was never there to eat lol)
