    Looking at the poll, lots more women that men in debt. Scary though seeing as we earn less and work less due to childcare commitments.


    It must be down to all of the Gin and Shopping Channels......;)

  • I am the same as rayday2, our debt is joint as a couple and currently stands at just under the £12000 mark, thanks to this site is it reducing and not going up.
    Credit Card 1 - £2900, credit card 2 - £6020 (0%).
    Mortgage £84000 - 17 years left without overpayments.

    Got to get organised, first credit card 1 £0/£2900

    There was a news report this week and it reckoned that the average under 25 year old owed approximately 15k - which is pretty scarey!

    That sounds about right... my boyfriend is 24 and owes roughly £15,000

    We are classing it as "our" debt as we want to buy a house together see my thread:
