I have my own business in retail! I see people from all walks of life and see a varied way of thinking and paying for goods. From the penny pinchers to the dont look at the price tag buyers!
As in life we are all different and some people will spend for the sake of it whilst others will search for the best price available and then try to get a discount lol
The more credit available the easier people find it to buy expensive items, cars caravans holidays etc these items can be out of reach but with a little help from our "flexible friends" they are easily in our reach!
Things are ok as long as the payments can be met but if things change, lose job ill health or split with partner then our circumstances change and things get tricky!
Thats when the brown stuff hits the fan!!
We all have our own choices in life and without doubt most of us make the wrong ones now and again but experiance is a good way to learn and the wiser we get the better we feel with our life choices lol ( most people have been stung one way or another)
In my work life i make a living from people buying goods from me and i cringe at times when someone says ive only a few hundred left in credit, take it on my card!!! but i cant stop them buying can I?
In my private life im a lot more wiser with my monney! lol If i cant afford something then i dont have it, as simple as that lol or i save up!! sad
If everyone lived by their means then the credit companies wouldnt be making their £££s the easier it is to get credit the more they make!!

Good Thread this.
We have become a nation obsessed by house Prices.
People have got themselves into enourmous amounts of debt on credit cards and loans mainly because they think they are rich beacaus their house is worth £XXX thousand pounds.
Unfourtunatly we are beginning to see the wheels are coming off the property gravy train.
Houses are not selling, chains are breaking down and first time buyers are refusing to pay stupid prices.
House prices in the long term average the average wage. Where i live in Cornwall it is now 14x the average wage, and people wonder why they cant see their houses lol.
Check out this graph and tell me what you thinks going to happen to house prices??

There's only one way that graphs going!!! DOWN
So i'm happy renting and i'll buy at the bottom.
I find it quiet funny listening to all the vested interests (estate agent, banks, building societies) harping on about a soft landing lol.
When theres a Bubble its gonna POP!!
So if your trying to sell your house drop your price now before it gets really bad, If you are a first time buyer wait and save, and if youve remortgaged your house to buy cars 4x4 holidays and other things worry. NEGATIVE EQUITY is looming.
For more info type house price crash into google
and have aread up.
Sorry to be a doom munger but its my pet rant....
