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.

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

Bravo for the post-trawling. Petty little things like that won't ingratiate you with the regulars, my fellow newbie. xRIEx said:
I know it's days ago now, but I still can't get over the sheer fknuggetry of this statement - a thrill from owning watches? Is that in conjunction with the thrill of checking that the trains arrive at the right time as they're recorded in the little spotter notebook? It sounds like a hobby that requires a flask of weak lemon drink.
Tell me, what are your hobbies and why are they more worthy than mine?Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
