30 and at parents

Have you thought about sharing your flat, even if it has only one bedroom you could use the living space as your room and share kitchen and bathroom.. just a thought even though its not in an area you'd like to live in at least you would have your own front door..

once i have cleared my overdraft and saved a little i think i will probably:
- leave the investment flat to pay for itself, then even with no over payments i'll own a £140k property by age 50.
- with my wages decide how much i could afford in terms of renting a flat for myself
- move into rented flat nearer town
- look to improve job prospects
- look to meet partner

10 years ago i wouldnt have any problem with staying at the parents and they dont mind me being here, but it does feel like now i should be fending for myself..
i also think at my age my parents were married, 2 kids and house, so again its like i'm not geting anywhere myself!

i seem to be getting left behind, most of my mates are either married/in long term relationships/have young kids... even my younger sister is getting married and living with husband to be.

You don't have to be married, you don't have to be in a long-term relationship and you don't have to have kids. If that's what you want out of life fine - but please you don't have to do all these things just because other people do - and there is certainly no requirement for you to do these things at any set age.

These debts are money I loaned to friends via my credit cards but are being paid back now on fixed terms. As I said earlier, I no longer have any credit card debt of my own, it is only this money two friends are paying me back.

Sounds as though a good nature has done your friends a very good favour but not yourself. So is there anyway you can get them to increase their repayments to you so you can clear the debt quicker.
