Are we allowed to puncture the general air of self-congratulatory, faintly moralising smugness so beloved of STW?
Debt? Absolutely ****ing mountains of it! I’d love to say it was all fecklessly racked up on credit cards, on fast cars, loose women, designer handbags and drugs. If only to annoy you.
However, due to the joys of running your own business in the middle of the biggest financial shit-storm ever, its all other peoples really. Who kindly went bust on me owing me shedloads of cash for work I’d already done for them. I’m likely to be paying it off for the rest of my life.
There’s a certain irony in finding myself in this position through hard work and honesty (and naivity and a little too much trust) . Other people are happy to have no truck with either. Its no fun being the one left holding everything when the music stops 😥
