    How about those who were debt and mortgage free but took out loads on mortgages and 0% cards to do up house.
    Sorry can't think of an acronym (?). Will have to ask OH, he's good at crosswords.

    It is if you pop your clogs at 80! :rotfl:

    Anyhoo, how about LADs then (not sexist though), but short for Life After Debt, 'cause I'll have a good chunk of that when I'm debt free!

    I'll have a go at this one then!

    How about STUDs - Students Tormented Under Debt (or Ex-STUDS if you prefer!)

    Now hang on a minute - Technically Debt Free means that stoozing is counted as actual debt! That can't be right...

    I fit into the MAD category, for many reasons:rolleyes:

    If we sold everything we own we still could not pay of our debts, now that is a really depressing thought:o

    But hard work and tight belts mean by the time i am a few years into my thirties we should be ok.
