    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.
    as the % are of the total sample, not separately for men and women, it might simply be that there are more women voting on this thread than men, and that gives the appearance that more women are in debt. Interestingly the majority of women seem to have low levels of debt whereas there is a little blip of excess for men around the 20-30k debt mark
    Debt Oct 2005: £32,692.94
    Current debt: £14,000.00
    Debt free date: June 2008

    Yep, I noticed that what men have voted have higher debt levels in general. I'm still just in the 10-20k, but will go sub 10k by the end of September, just from ordinary repayments.
