    Hii all

    I'm 26, £38k debt (unsecured) and our joint income is £65k. We both also have second jobs - my fiancee is a door man and gets an extrea £50-100 a week and I do Helen E make up parties as and when I can.

    The debt is a lot, my LBM was only last month so it's all very new. Have felt very positive tough up til now, shaky day today but 5 years from the 31.12.2009 will be gone!!

  • The better half and i are both 34, i earn approx £70 - 80k, her 15K (part time). Only last 3 years or so that we have been this well paid - both on low salaries prior to starting new career. Now have zero debts and a couple of quid in the bank, having recently cleared the last of our £50k+ of debts that we had a couple of years ago. Currently saving for deposit to buy house, presently renting. No pension contributions either, so thats the next priority once big enough deposit in place. 2 kids draining the bank as well........

    No mortgage yet. Will be saving for a place next year once my next pay cheque clears my last bit of credit card debt. It peaked at £4K and is now nearly gone.. hurrah!
