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?

Che’s top tipsIf you’re in a hole, stop digging. Don’t pretend that making the hole deeper or wider will make it more comfortable, don’t go borrowing a bigger shovel from some bloke you met down the pub who said you can have it as long as you want because he’s not using it at the moment.
If you get stuck down the hole, stop for a minute and think of a way to get out. Wishing for a ladder won’t help, you may have to construct small steps in the side of the hole as footholds/handholds, it will take a long time, will be messy and hard work, but eventually, you will be out of the hole. You will only be at ground level, but at least you’ll be able to see the hills off in the distance.
I like Frankspencer’s tips, all us oldies must sound really boring, but I’m afraid to say, life is dull, when you do it right. The trick is, not to make it hell, and you can’t do better than Mr Micawber’s rule for life for that.
Thus endeth the lesson.
p.s. one more message to go!
