Poor people and credit
Discussion
For me the thrill of ownership of my watch collection and my relatively humble fleet of cars is that I own them.
Not the bank, not Bright House, me.
Why do people not simply purchase what they can afford and stop cheapening prestigious brands with the sickening credit culture Britain is tied up in?
It upsets me to see a tracksuit-wearing yobbo sporting a Panerai, it makes me positively incandescent with rage when they bemoan the cost of buckles and purchase a fake.
Thankfully the 0% interest HP deals aren't available on premium cars or they would all be tearing around their council estates in Bentleys.
I guess I just don't like poor people.

Possibly. Thing is, as much as I hate credit (not poor people), it helps to move the economy. Your clients probably put you in your mansion and give you the fleet of supercars because they buy on credit... or their customers/clients buy on credit.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIAXG_QcQNU
If everyone was like me and only bought within their means, the economy would be back in the 1970s.

It's a fair and valid point that the spending habits of poor people do keep the financial world ticking. However, I'd prefer they blitzed their credit cards in Sports Direct on their uniform rather than buying goods which would align more with my means.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIAXG_QcQNU

Your question should be to the companies you like ' why do you allow people to buy your products on credit? if it was strictly cash only then only rich people could have them ( and gypsies)

Oh dear I can hear a trumpet blowing.....Stinkotanko said:
Good input "jogger1976", you may yet be quoted on the BBC with such deep insight.
Thanks Stinkonato, or whatever you're called this week.
I'm pretty sure you post is a piss take, cos' surely nobody, not even on PH, could be so pompous and arrogant.
Either way it made me laugh, even if that wasn't your intention.
Oh, and if you could arrange for me to be quoted on the BBC that'd be great.I'm a bit of a fan actually.

Oh dear I can hear a trumpet blowing.....We all wear a uniform of some sort regardless of how much wealth we ( maybe daddy) have, your nicely pressed chino and blazer combo is as much a uniform as there shell suit 2 piece as the hipster with his beard, skinny jeans and chelsea boots.

If not then you're spending an inheritance which isn't your money anyway.
