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?

WarningIf you are even *thinking* about getting divorced, HAVE NO MONEY or ASSETS in your own name. Luckily for me when I got divorced in 1981 I had nothing, but my stepfather stitched me up and I lost custody of my own daughter. But at least there was no money involved. We lived in a council house on the Isle of Wight. Ex-husband's family said I'd never have any money. Cue 1989 when my now husband got divorced. He just left his wife with a suitcase one day. He was earning too much money and is still paying maintenance to the stupid bint he married. She's 60 and will never get married again because otherwise she will lose the maintenance. the only way he stops paying is when she dies. Guess what is my biggest wish ? Talk about a fuck up. If I'd known how much money was involved I'd have got rid of it before he left her.
I got my own back on the stepfather, who went missing from my Mum one day about 10 years ago and is living as some sort of porn photographer in Tanzania. I got my own back at the ex-husband too. What did I do ? I bought my daughter a new car for her 29th and I can afford to pay for it with my own money.
