    I only ever considered myself to be in a couple of grands worth of debt but then I found out that I took out a personal loan of nearly 12k that I didn't know about!! :eek:


    Well hopefully now OH and i are moving in with his parents we will save alot of money and be debt free alot sooner - well thats the plan anyway!!

    make that £1.50 to evil monument so an extra 50p please - got carried away on the internet bank ;)

    I can't even be arsed to include my student debt in my totals - cause I don't think I'd leave the house if I did - they're be no point - i did 6 years in total - OMG the debts, Also loving the fact that the newer rule debts (half on old rules half on new) will never be paid off if I only pay the minimum at the rate I earn :mad: - aren't CC companies being bollocked for that???????

  • Dunno about you guys but at one point I was earning a really good wage and because of my age I guess I just squandered it and fell back on cc's! I got a loan just because I could which, looking back on it, I've no idea what I used the loan or cc's for!

    I can completely relate! When I was 18 and lived at home I was earning about £850 p/m and had NO outgoing other then £150 board and keep and £150 mum made me save in post office, and I spent all the rest on... well nothing! I even ended up getting a credit card so I could buy more nothing! And that was it, the slippery slope.... Go a loan to pay it off, then had a nice emply cc to use... you all know how it goes!

    Good luck with all your MSing!
