  • I'm 20, and not quite my circumstances, it's more my mums but because i live with her and cant really contribute very well financially that I come on here alot.

    I dont EVER intend to get into debt myself, I've seen the worst side of things with my parents. Luckily my fiancee is very sensible with money and my parents issues (Father racking up a load of debt in my mums name that she knew nothing of) will not be repeating themselves!

  • Hiya everyone, I'm 24 and have just over £2K of debt, hope to have it cleared by March 2009 though. My debt was caused by learning to drive, and i'm STILL learning to drive - grrrr!!!!
  • Hmmmm do i count?! I am 25!
  • hiya

    just turned 23 and have approx 17K of debt. most of that is from 2 loans for around 8K each, one in my name and one in my partners name that he took our for me to consolidate my cc. those will be paid off in 3.5 years, but aim to have it paid off quicker.
