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?

"does anyone know any cures for insomnia?"I find that sleeping on an enormous pile of £50 notes helps.
For people who think credit cards are evil and pointless:
1/. Your purchases are insured, so if you drop your new toy on the way home or have it nicked, you're covered.
2/. Cashback - I get about £100 a year free money on the anniversary of taking out my Egg card.
3/. 0% interest - for the past few years I've been bouncing my debt around the various 0% interest cards while, instead of paying them off, putting the money into a savings account earning around 5% interest (it's not worth it anymore because they're now charging a balance transfer fee).
Credit cards are great, if you use 'em right.
