    Income £40k pre tax (mine only - OH is self employed & very variable)
    Debt £15k
    Mortage £85k

    Just realised that means i owe £100k - Think I see a light a shining.

    On the bright side house is worth about £180k & savings £4100

    I think I need to look on the bright side a bit more - am feeling a bit ratty about this.
    ....another happy bug.........sorry,blogger embracing the simple life

    Here's me:
    Income: 22k
    Debts: £12.5k

    Income will decrease to £6k in september when I go back to study, eek! But my debts are all student loans at about 3.2% interest and my strategy is to save up money in savings to make a teeny bit of interest on the difference. I do have the equivalent to the debts in a savings account now, but I feel I need to build up my savings more so that I could spend some if I needed to rather than have my equivalent debt balance creep up.
