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?

well wellI can't be bothered to worry about credit card debt. Got about 8k on the cards but I've defaulted and pay 30quid a month. got a 9 odd grand student loan and have probably paid about 30 quid in two years. When the debt agencies send me letters saying I owe them I just ignore them, send some more ten quid cheques off and just deal with it. There are much worse things in life to worry about. Luckily i live with my parents so don't have rent to pay (yet).
So I say go to Uni and have a great time. Spend money, enjoy yourself but don't get crazy stupid. Go to a good uni where degrees mean something.I did fuck all work for three years, went out eating, drinking, smoking and certainly indulged in a fair bit of breakfast with Pablo if you know what i mean. All my money was spent on those things. Just do it and enjoy it. I got in a lot of trouble at Cambridge but had a fucking great time. If only I could remember some of it.
Biggest expenses for students? If you like living, then beer, drugs and fags will cost you dearly. but do it, because I guarantee once you get out you'll regret not having a great time whilst you could have. and claim your bank charges back!
