its not a case of no will power but if i cant afford it i'll save until i can. i'm sure that makes whatever your buying more valued.
its just the old fashoned way i was brought up i s'pose.


btw, i was told by my uncle, who arranges morgages etc, to get a credit card, use it all month,then pay off the outstanding at the end of the month. this way, mine & mrs gasmans wages ofset the morgage interest for the month, which he recons could knock a few years off the length of the morgage

does anyone else do this??


I totaly agree mate,

it seems that years ago people saved up for what they wanted. When they did have the money saved I suppose they would know if they really wanted the product when they came to part with the cash.

Thing is I have got a credit card and use it a lot really. I try to pay off big chunks if it gets used to much though!!
