  • Age: 28
    Salary: £25k
    Debt: £24k approx
    :confused:
  • Age 28, salary 29k, husband's age 30, husband's salary 32.5k, joint debts not including mortgage and student loans are approx. 16k.

    I've just added all our debts to my signature ("ours" are our money is joint) and it's a bit scary yet something of a relief to see it written down in black and white.
  • -I'm 28 and my husband is 29.
    -We don't add our debts up individually as, after so many years together, it's hard to remember who owed what in the first place. Jointly we owe £34,460.54 (or there abouts)
    -I am a full time student and my income is £Nil and my husband's is around £26,000.
    -Savings = Nothing

    However, we are expecting a check for £30,000 in the post in the next week or so (long drawn-out legal action), so this is all about to change.:j
    Total Debt November 2016 =£9,660.52 :mad:

    Monthly Repayments = £593.09 :eek:

    Goal to be debt free December 2017/ Savings £500 :T
