This is a question Debt pron

Watching 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?

Inheritance to overdraft
Went to Uni in Bristol (UWE not the posh one). This was '94 so got grant (2k first year). Was late with forms so got loan early. Had jobs, got paid shitty money, survived. Second year, grant 1.8k, loan again. However got 5k inheritance from an old woman I met when I was like 2. Cos other family members also died it came to mee - wahey! 2 Technics 1200's and a mixer, plus lots of going out and it was all but gone. No - didn't pay off debt either.

Met bitch while at uni got her up the duff when I was 20, popped out when I was 21. At 21 I inherited 15k - wahey pt2! However bitch mc'cunt spent an awful lot of it and nowt left not long after. a year passes and I have the kid while she does big black men instead (length joke goes here).

So, single with kid, childcare costs loads, working but not getting paid a lot. Didn't know what the government coudl do to help at the time so got loans to pay for childcare etc. Time goes on, 10k inc student loans in debt. Oh.

Blah blah blah, move back oooop norff, rent shitty flat. Eventually buy a not so shitty flat for 27k. Buy house with GF, she sells her flat to pay for deposit and pay off all our debt!

Rent my flat, then sell it! Hurah pt3! Inherit more - huray for money, boo for dead relatives.

Moral of the story? Erm, dead people bail you out? Don't get bitch preggers? Don't spend more than you earn?

Fuck it, it's all a game anyway, who cares!
