    Right this is what we're going to do - we're going to have suggested slogans.

    Then I'll pick (my site so there - nah) about 10

    Then we can vote on them and everyone should then put them with sigs to send a message.

    Remember the key is its good to be fighting your debts - though not particularly to have them in the first place ;)

    :T What a great idea Martin!

    I don't have any debt apart from student loan (which is more 'good' than 'bad' debt to my mind) but I would still like it gone asap!

    Thing is, I still see myself as living a dfw style existence... thanks to the fact that I earn very little/nothing at all at the mo!! I was in debt when I found this board but thankfully not too much and it was reduced eventually. But I absolutely do not want to get into debt now, no matter how tight things are, and therefore the dfw way is 100% relevant! and besides, this is where all my friends are! :o

    All of which is a roudabout way of saying... a phrase about 'dealing with my debts' is not really appropriate for me but I'd love one along the lines of spreading the dfw message - banging the drum or whatever is chosen!

    But the people who are getting grief are those with large debts in their sigs and so it should be whatever best serves the purpose of standing up to that!

    T shirts would be fab - we'd be able to recognise each other :D

    What about a wristband we could wear, all proceeds to charity :beer:

    Hi there, I don't really qualify to carry the signature - whatever it may be, but like Kathfisch I would have slipped in to debt without some of the brilliant advice offered here to others.
    A play on words I know but how about Repaying my debt with pride.
