Reading through Moozies inspirational post (as well as previous ones including the famous Ms_London) got me wondering?

Obviously not everyone will be comfortable in sharing this info, so don't worry, just read! But I would like to know how your income/salary compares to your debt (not including mortgage)?

I will get the ball rolling:


SALARY=£26k
DEBT=£33k


Just 2 lines, thats all I want!


Reason - thought it may also be an inspiration to others to know they are NOT the only ones in this situation!

    The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.

    Hi Jules :)

    With so many people in the UK in debt, how comes the TV companies still allow debt companies to advertise to borrow money against existing debts? Why do they allow this?

    I hope when i'm debt free i never get into this state again.
