It can give one a warm glow to see all the well-meaning suggestions offering advice on subjects such as saving money whilst grocery shopping, avoiding wasteage of foodstuffs in the home, saving on electricity costs, reducing increasing phone bills and the like.
This all falls under the heading of survival in a world gone mad with consumerism!
We all individually are to blame because we are NOT prepared to voluntarily "cut our cloth according to the measure". We continue buying this weeks groceries on next weeks paypacket. We continue to butter the pockets of the banks and the money-lending institions by using Credit Cards, invariably attracting obscene interest rates, instead of using a Debit Card thus preventing overspending (if you haven`t got the money in your account, you cannot get credit). We continue to fall for the old "buy today, with no interest for 18 months" ploy, and continue "keeping up with the Jones`s" who themselves are no doubt up to their necks in mortgage repayments on their "first home" mansion that itself would be more befitting a member of Arabic royalty.
Things are not going to change if we are not prepared to change our long instilled habit of buying on Credit. All business will continue to welcome artificial affluence, but the Bailiff will be the only one who will dispense the penalty for overspending!
