Yip, I know. Hardly a new thread idea for me.
But it intrigues me.
Bar my mortgage I've not much. A few hundred here and there. But I can't afford sh't. My cooker's failing, my tv's failing, my f#ckin will's filing. How do I replace them? I live month to month. Work month to month. I'm like most surely? Am I missing out because I refuse to do triple somersaults into the world of debt? Does the world laugh at me because I'm not in debt? Am I expected to be in debt? Is the class divide getting sickengly big again? Debt vs the debtors? I wonder. Do the rulers just move the goalposts?

if you want to move on, the first thing to do is dump the fantasy view of 'the rulers' being responsible for your life.
ffs sake you're your own man, and you're responsible for your own fate - scarey perhaps, which is why liberalism is so unpopular, and left wing fantasy so enduring, but there you are. and so also are those who take on debt. that's not to say i don't think the banks are irresponsible in lending - they are.
but if you make yourself a serf, then that's what you'll be.
