How many lives has Martin saved?

Hi Guys
Im not actually in any debt or need to save money, but my girlfriend is. I've been doing well for a while and helping her out quite a bit, but since she found this forum its like she is a new person. She is being sensible, proactive with her money and working off her debts brilliantly. She even has got me saving plenty of cash here and there with all the tips.
After seeing his show a few times and some of the stories she has told me from this website, I kind of think Martin deserves a medal or an OBE or similar. I got me wondering, how many lives has Martin literally saved? Either in terms of their quality of life or literally, in cases where crippling debt has caused serious depression.
I would wager, that without realising it, he has saved thousands of lives since he set this website up. Martin for Prime Minister!:money:

what a lovely post dave
and remember you can find info on all sorts of stuff here
its not just money saving:)I am not bossy I just have better ideas:p0 -
Dunno, him personally, none.
But his site and the people at all the agency/helpline. Many."I'm not from around here, I have my own customs"
For confirmation: No, I'm not a 40 year old woman, I'm a 26 year old bloke!0 -
see youve got your sig up Riq
actually martin handles ALOT on this siteI am not bossy I just have better ideas:p0 -
Yeah, causing a bit of confusion inthe picture thread.
I'm not saying he does nothing btw, just that I dont think he personally did it if you get me. He mayhave provided tools and the resources, but actually doing the "saving" someone else has done."I'm not from around here, I have my own customs"
For confirmation: No, I'm not a 40 year old woman, I'm a 26 year old bloke!0 -
well i think without his resourses and tools there would be no place for anyone to be saved
or for people to save people
or to save money
or to save people money
you get me:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
i think i better go back to night owls
i dont sound as strange there
or do i;)I am not bossy I just have better ideas:p0 -
You forgot make money.
The night owls is a good refuge.:)

ah damn always forget summat
ha ha not when im there;)I am not bossy I just have better ideas:p0 -
Ahh well life saving doesn't really seem to get recognised much. The person who's saved more lives than anyone in history probably wouldn't even be known to most people. (Norman Borlaug by the way, UN and Nobel committee estimate he and his work is personally responsible for saving 1 billion lives)."She is quite the oddball. Did you notice how she didn't even get excited when she saw this original ZX-81?"
