and what you want 10 grand to fall out of the sky or something.
The best thing to do is have poor parents.
Then you get an extra grand that you don't have to pay back.
Oh, I lie, I haven't paid the gas bill yet. Make that £40.
credit card1 :£3000
credit card2 :£700
overdraft :£2000
so without counting the mortgage, thats £5700.
If you count the mortgage, then i may as well shoot myself now, but mortgage is a good debt, unlike the others,
i know the feeling ;p
I do owe a mate a few pints if that counts, and my boyfriend has credit card and loan debts amounting to about £3000 which is bog standard nowadays. I think debt is a big problem nowadays in the UK and we need to realise that borrowing money is not the answer.
Currently I'm in no debt whatsoever. I owe my parents £60 but they don't want it back just yet (I have the means to pay).
Oh and for those stuck with credit card debt I found this: http://www.ivillage.com/money/life_stage/deepdebt/articles/0,10509,191957_13561,00.html?arrivalSA=1&cobrandRef=0&arrival_freqCap=1&pba=adid=11074017
credit card 1 - £0
credit card 2 - £300 at the moment, but i pay it off every month, so tak it away from overdraft 1 in about 2 weeks.
overdraft 1 - £1000
overdraft 2 - £600
after 4 years of uni too.
i still have things like tuition fees to pay this term, but i've got money set aside for that. And i'm getting paid on the 20th november, so i should be ok :S
£70 to parents for something they bought when I didn't have the money before payday
£50 to Next (account card)
£45 to Topshop (account card)
Total = £265
Have the money in my account - have to give parents a cheque on the 1st of every month (so Monday) and I'm just waiting for the statements from my account cards to come (with the payment slip thingies attached).
Overdraft: £1600
Owe friend: £20
Total: £10220
:nervous:
$200 phone bill
$about a grand in credit card bills
Considering I don't have a house or a car or school or anything like that to be in debt I'd say I'm doing pretty damn well in making myself poor and miserable.
And if you voted Labour in 1997 or 2001 I hold you personally responsible, and I hope you and everyone you hold dear gets hit by a truck.
about 900 quid on my credit card
about 200 on my store card
i owe world books about 60 quid
and i think i owe my old college some money for some books that are missing :eek2:
Current assets - Northern Rock Tracker Online - £37,000
Abbey Postal ISA - £3,000
Nationwide FlexAccount - £200 (for all those expenses that VISA Electron won't cover, and Delta is required)
Lloyds Current Account - £500 (day-to-day money)
This is estimated, not actual.
I'm scarily in debt, not through choice.
A combination of work and donation. My father saved ever since I was born so that I wouldn't be in debt after going to university. When I hit 18 he transferred all of that money to me. I also took a percentage when my great aunt died, and that helped.
£9500 student loan and ive got 2 years to go after this (4 yr course)
owe a few drinks here and there, but they owe me them too so it balances out
oh and i owe my mum about £150 for 4 months worth of phonebills
not too bad i say
