Last year there were loads of people in here and not so many in debt free.
There are 179 people in debt free now and 30 in here.
If that isn't a warning about where this country is heading I dont know what is.

A fair number of the people in "here" aren't even buying houses. So that should be even more of a warning.0 -
Perhaps, but i have also noticed that in general there are more people in debt on here than a year ago. It could be partly to do with the direction that Martin is taking the site with his appearances on TV and radio. A lot of it seems to be aiming at reducing debt.
There has been a huge decline in anything linked to saving, stoozing, etc etc too.0 -
I dont think its a reflection on anything, much as youd love it to be RWO:beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
This Ive come to know...
So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:0 -
Maybe its a good thing.
Maybe they are finally doing something about their debt after Martin has been spreading the good word0
