    exactly, there's no point in maintaining debt at an extortionate like 18.9% but not much wrong with a 0% debt as long as you have the discipline to repay. You are using their money instead of your own.

    Debt as long as it's managable is fine. Don't think about it on a personal level, think about it like business (debt = cashflow). Make the payments when you should and everyone is happy.

    I agree debt is OK as long as it's managable, but I would further qualify this by saying 'debt taken out for a purpose'. Debt is personal ! Very personal, ask those people who have received CCJs or had their house repossessed because secured loans haven't been paid.

    You posted this a few days ago, to which i replied. It appears to me that you dont want to listen to the advice as you keep on re-asking.????

    Its obvious that you should pay off your debt, isnt it?
