Did you know that US Consumers hold more than $700 billion dollars in credit card debt? $4 billion dollars alone is spent on impulse purchases.

sounds familiar.
over here a major bank admitted they wrote out loans to people based on their own commission, rather than on what people could feasibly afford. So many people are tied up in multiple loans/creditcards/overdrafts, if the banks were to claim all the money back, a good 40% of the population would be completely bancrupt and homeless.
i am one of them....miss-spending and joblosses cummulated into huge debts, a mortgage and a secured loan, creditcards, overdraft, storecard. I'm lucky though, my income increased enough for me to overpay on the mortgage and the cards.

Bastards!

I'm glad you finally have a job that you can do that with. How are the people you work with? Better than the last job?

The people i work with now are more concerned with doing their job than being popular. Its a much more relaxed atmosphere that way. And they are all very helpful and to the point.
Of course it has only been 3 weeks....hahaha....i havent had a chance to get myself into trouble yet!
