    I am 30 and although I wish I had understood I was on a dangerous road with my spending before, I don't think I was mature enough to cope with that realisation.

    I will be debt free soon enough, what's a couple of years in the space of a lifetime eh? ;)

  • I'm 32. I was debt-free for most of my 20s, so wisdom obviously doesn't come with age in my case! :o

    I also imagined most ppl here to be older than me. Not sure why... :D

    See, people in their twenties are more sensible than you thought. :D
