What have you got to show for the debt

My debt was when we moved in to our house and my credit card bil jumped from 1600 pounds up to 6000 pounds and apart from the fridge I cannot think of what I have spent the rest on .

What have you got to show for the debt.

    Not much. A new computer desk, some bits and bobs like that, all cheap from Ikea. A travel card. Books. A cheap few nights in Paris with DD. Mostly it's just gone on rubbish.

  • New furniture, landscaped garden, LOTS of bedding, enough books to start a library (gradually all will end up on Amazon), and once December is over I'll have been overseas 6 times in the last 18 months (can't cancel the trip in December without losing all I paid for it)..... Twice to Europe, Once to Canada, and three times to the USA (New York once and Hawaii twice)... AGHHHHHHHHHHH!! What oh what was I thinking?!?!?!?!
  • a trip to Florida two years ago and hubby's 40th birthday present of a weekend away and a racing day.
    That's about it!

    A Beerbelly and memories of some wild wild times with some of the best mates in the world.

    Beerbelly has been reduced dramatically and the mates are still there.
  • Clothes, shoes,handbags, eating out, flights, nights out....I can honestly say I had a ball at the time, would never do it again though, once all 3 CC's are paid off (within next 2 weeks!!!!:T ) I will never ever have another one!:A

  • Well we managed to hold onto our home despite having no money coming in but that only accounts for the last £6,000. Lots of junk, holidays (florida, france, scotland, luxor,spain). Too many toys for the boys, my garden has more equiptment than the local park.

    I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

  • not a lot really. Nicely decorated house, which is lucky really seeing as I am going to have to spend a lot of nights in paying it all off - instead of out with my mates!
