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?

smug, satisfied glow of failure reduxMoral of the story? Don't listen to the lying scumbags who insist you need an education.
Don't listen to clumsyeloquence - I tried this tack and guess what? I'm in a deep hole of student and credit card debt, spent most of the 1990s unable to get any sort of job that wasn't as a kitchenhand, and am only just now finishing my undergraduate degree at the age of 34. Even that is only because the headshrinker that Centrelink assigned to me as a case manager because I'd been on the dole so long gave me a pitying look in response to my description of my career ambitions, and said "Get a degree."
I'd just like to thank Osama bin Laden for generating thousands of new security-related jobs over the last five years. That is all.
