    I'm 24 and a half. My debt includes my postgrad loans, but not my undergrad ones. I mentionned to my OH (he's 31) that there were lots of people my age on here and he said "of course", "you were one of the first years to have to take out loans for university - so that's why" I wonder what % of people under 30 have studentship as their main cause of debt. Maybe I should start another poll!
