    I am 38.

    Been in debt since I married at 22, still with DH though. Been through some REALLY tough times - husband set up own business one month after daughter born (12 yrs ago).
    Realised how life-destroying being in debt can be & with hubby a bit older than me, need to get things into perspective.

    It's really good to see today's younger people taking money matters seriously and hopefully debt will decline.

    Sites like this are really encouraging for all walks & ages.

    I'm 30. I've been in debt since getting married, buying a house and having 3 kids. Though not necessarily in that order. Unemployment & bad health has contributed to our debt.
