And that has been one of the major problems with our modern society, people just want it now. From my own experience, Bev's son Ben was given a £7000.00 credit card without even asking for it and this is happening all over the place. Young people and even older people are just using the so called "Equity" in their over inflated priced house to fund an ever more luxurious lifestyle, me, I say lets get back to basics as Fordie says.
My biggest worry is now if I lose my job how will I get another, at fast approaching 50 my skills are as good if not better than most of the people I work with but when it comes down to getting an interview the younger will almost certainly get a chance.
Any how lets try talking up the country and maybe some of it will rub off.
