Debt pronWatching TV the other day we caught one of these "Bank of Mummy or the Wife" type shows and we thought, "This is Debt Pron." I.e. peoples financial problems exploited for the voyeuristic pleasure of others. Then we thought, "We bet lots of people on B3ta have massive financial problems. Let's exploit them." So, confess them all. Dodgy credit cards, lending money to some bloke in the pub, visits from the bailiffs, using one card to pay off another. We want to wallow in your fiscal pain. So, what is your biggest money fuck up?

Cautionary TaleMy (very) ex-partner managed to keep his drink problem hidden from me for nearly two years at which point we took the tenancy of a pub together.
It all started very well but then he started drinking more & more, driving away all our good customers & imbibing the takings. And more.
We ended up selling at a loss and as everything was in my name I ended up bankrupt and lost my house.
He walked away debt free.
A cautionary tale indeed and not at all funny, I'm afraid.
