[Closed] 44k in debt....

footflaps, for some people it works, but not that many, particularly with an evolving economy. One of the lads I went to school with was a pipe-fitter/welder at 16, did his apprenticeship, got into music, became a record producer with his own label and now makes the majority of his income day-trading on the markets, that process has taken 30 years.

Has anyone mentioned that the massive increase in fees has had almost no effect in reducing the gov debt?

But is that debt now off balance sheet as it's sold off?

if it is, then it's stopped the debt from growing....

but I'm surprised njee could get a £240k mortgage last year without being in the 2nd highest bracket.

And yet here I am sat in the house paid for just like that... They'd have leant us more too.

as an alternative to the debt you could save 40 quid a week from birth

Yeah, that's a bit more than my pocket money was to be fair.
