    Yep there's a few DFWs in their 20s

    I'm lucky as I'm still a student so can go out on student nights without looking cheap!

    Sorry........just couldn't resist. :o (post # 2)

    I had just got married at twenty four and was learning to make the pennies count. It wasn't so easy to get credit then. It's so much easier to get credit at younger age now days.

    It sounds like you taking positive steps to pay off your debts. Keep up the good work. :T

    I'm 26 and would like to be out, rather than stuck in on a sat night! However I would rather enjoy it when I actually have money to spend than my OD. Remember all the DFW sacrifices are worth it!

    I'm twenty five and although not in debt, i have to live like a pauper to get by! Would love to be in a position where i don't have to worry about a night out without wondering how much its going to cost me. Most of my trips out to pubs consist of going to the pub for a meal as its a mystery shop.

    I'm 29 and have been in the carp for almost 4 years now - wish I had my head as screwed on as you seem to have when I was 24!!

    Keep going!!
