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?

Ah, the smug, satisfied glow of failureI dropped out of college at 17 due to immense boredom and got a shitty admin job.
Now, while all my friends who have been through/ dropped out of uni find themselves in up to £15k of debt, I am earning the average wage for a recent graduate, as an editorial assistant, and have around £5k in savings.
My career is going swimmingly and freelance work has started coming in, while most of my friends left uni this year and are either still struggling to find work or have ended up at New Look.
Not bad for 18, I think.
Moral of the story? Don't listen to the lying scumbags who insist you need an education.
