Can I ask an intrusive question to anyone with debt?....


How much debt do you have? I don't mean mortgage as although that is a debt, I am talking about credit cards, loans, overdrafts, etc.

I owe £500 credit card from my wedding, and I am paying off a £1200 loan from the bank to help me take a wee while longer on mat leave to be with LO. I also occasionally dip into overdraft before pay day. Really gets me down. I was just wondering what debt other people have, sorry to be nosy!

About £2600 if you exclude student loan. £2000 student overdraft that I'm still always in, a £200 overdraft account, £200 next account and £200 on a credit card.

My student loan is about £6500.

Between us ... OH student loan aprox £2000 , credit card £89.54 ,studio catalog £41.99, sofa finance aprox £600 left and very catalog £75ish.

All will get paid off on next pay day barr the student loan /sofa finance ofcourse

I think for the mess we were in 4 years ago I think a little debt is healthy.

I owe about $6000 on my student loan. I owed nearly $15000 in student loans, overdrafted credit cards and bank accounts, etc. three years ago. With some hard work (and luck in getting a higher paying job) I was able to eat away at it bit by bit...don't let it get you depressed!
