Debt pronWatching TV the other day we caught one of these "Bank of Mummy or the Wife" type shows and we thought, "This is Debt Pron." I.e. peoples financial problems exploited for the voyeuristic pleasure of others. Then we thought, "We bet lots of people on B3ta have massive financial problems. Let's exploit them." So, confess them all. Dodgy credit cards, lending money to some bloke in the pub, visits from the bailiffs, using one card to pay off another. We want to wallow in your fiscal pain. So, what is your biggest money fuck up?

I'm good meI got a full grant 12 years ago - mind you this was a time when fees were paid and a grant actually covered everything and left me with enough to live on :-)
Got a decent job paying a good wage and now I'm earning plenty - eyethankyou
I own a house worth £120k and a mortgage of £32k (Bought at the right time and value shot up)
Got a child though - that costs - a LOT
I still have no debts as my partner kicked my finances into gear - She's of scottish heritage and it's true about their financial savvyness!
My Mum has given us money in the past though, but they were gifts for when little one was born, moving in to house, etc.....
Still no debts and lots of savings.
Sorry - totally off topic I know, but getting on top of finances is very important and the root of happiness.
