Did anyone listen to five live's phone in on friday 11th when vistoria Darbyshire spoke to a woman who was £100,000 in debt, she was 28, and had worked out her debt free date at being over thirty years from now?

She had previously been taking 3 or 4 holidays abroad a year, and spending fortunes. She said that she and her husband would change their cars every six months.

Even though she knew she had to do something about her situation, she admitted to having spent a fortune on her children at Christmas because she didn't want to deny them all the nice things their friends had. Sounds to me like she is breeding some spoiled kids there...

I e mailed five live and suiggested this lady get real about her situation and get onto these boards, but they didn't mention it, in fact they seemed to think it was an amusing situation.. It certainly wasn't treated as a serious item.

She will end up bankrupt.

I will feel sorry for her kids as they are innocent & don;t know any different if they are used to having everything. It'll be a useful but haesh lesson for them.

The couple are idiots.

Blimey... i know i buried my head, and I know my sister did.

She ended up going bankrupt last year, it was her last ditch attempt and its not a nice thing.

When will the country start wising up that its NOT a good thing to be in debt??

Was it the same woman who was on the programme that was on ITV last night? The one with the interesting hairdo and a 3 year old with a "shoe fetish"?

She had 23 cards, and owed almost £104,000 on them. Her household income was around £3000 per month and the repayments are around £2000 per month. I cant really figure that out, she owes almost 10 times what we do and we pay a quarter of what she does?

Well, not just that, but the word "fetish" is a bit inappropriate to use regarding a toddler!

Or is that just my twisted mind?:rotfl:

didn't see her on tv, but it sounds like the same woman. I just can not believe how they get to such a state then be so unbothered by it. it would be so interesting to have her post a few of her thoughts here.
