It doesn't half get on my tits seeing people earning a fortune and yet struggling with money, with some of the wages you are on I'd be debt free and actually have savings for the first time in my life However having said that I also know what it's like when I get pay increases it never seems to make a difference, I suppose you spend what you have. (I'm just venting )

Anyway's

I'm currently on £14k - £16,400 with the regular bonus I recieve, Age: 23 and I'm in roughly £17,500 debt.

Depressing eh?

Why? Everything is relative... I earn more than I have ever done but with that my lifestyle changes, my spending increases, and my debt doesn't get much smaller.

When you earn a decent amount, you find yourself becoming less frugal because you don' have to be, and therefore spending £5k or whatever on a credit card doesn't even regiser as being daft etc.

23, with £0 income (unless you count benefits) and £2500 worth of debts (plus student loans)

I'm 22, earn 17.5k, and have £1,500 on my credit card which I'm trying to clear before the 0% period ends. I also have a 10k student loan.

Funny thing is 2 yrs ago I was a student and was never overdrawn or had a CC!

Looking on here, i really am very lucky to have realised quick no debt is good debt! Unless its a 0% loan or card earning 4% intrest in a savings account
