Default Debt?

Was reading a bit on another forum about a 20year old, in 10k worth of debt.
Then another chap noted that he owed 21k by the time he was 20!?

What debts do you have? Not including the mortgage...

I remember back in my Mobile phone sales days, a girl who had been 18 for around 8 months and was credit black-listed. She owed over £30k.

i owe 18k @ 21

Although i have a fair bit to show for it , its not like its just been spent with nothing to show for it.

Although im now in a much better paying job and am saving over 1k a month on average now, after loan repayment + rent + bill's etc etc

And like Graceland said above, its manageable debt, and i have plently of spare money should i need it, and a nice balance in my savings account, planning to put that towards a house deposit in the next few years

im 27

3 c/cards total about £12.500
overdraft £800
Loan for 15 grand which i used to clear debts a few years back but got abit ripped off I think as after payment protection was added and interest the total loan amount is £27.000
plus i.m sure over years where my mum has bailed me out and said dont worry about paying me back must owe her over 8 grand

have nothing to show for debt just always skint

and live at home so cant even afford a morgage

9k - all i have to show for it my rs, hopefully i'll owe about 5k in 2yrs, move closer to home so i dont need car, sell rs for 5k if its still a minter then sorted..........but in reality, i'll always spend alot on cars, so will always be in debt.....especially on my shite salary
