    **real Len Alert**

    I Wish I Could Tell My Family And All My Friends That I Am In Debt, Lyng About It All The Time Is Making Me Weary


    Len I have been in debt all my life and I've only just started to tell friends and family about it. Its only now that I have control of it and able to pay it back that I feel able to say "hey I was in huge debt, ive paid back x and im in control of it"

    Who in your family doesn't know??

    And for the record I don't own my own home, it drives me mad wasting money on rent but there are upsides to it too!
