    Age = 26

    Salary = £18K + overtime

    Good debt - Student loan + mortgage = £160K
    Alrightish debt - Family loan = £5k
    Bad debt - Credit card/ overdraft = £600 (clear with next month's pay, woo!)

    Very much under control, but still prevents lots of fun. :(

    Edit: Oooh, 100th post! :)
    Do you need it? Yep. Really? Yes! How have you managed for the last 28 years without it? Erm....

    Income, last month £192!!
    Debt £25k - at peak £45k

    I don't have any credit cards or access to credit cards any more - since llightbulb moment - which is good news. Bad news is if I don't earn it I can't spend it, so for the past year been living very much hand to mouth.

    I'm due to run out of money before the start of next month, so determined to find some way to earn money before then! I don't want to be in arrears with any payment and let that debt figure increase for the first time in 9 months.
