      Get rid of your wife/partner thus saving a fortune, and do it yourself.

        My long departed granny used to say something about not wearing her glasses out by using them less often. I’m still in two minds to if she was joking or not.
        How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

            Don't buy the range-topper car. Instead of spending £99,913 on the 911 Turbo, opt for the 911 4S for £71,618. You'll get from 0-60 in 4.8secs rather than 3.9, but you'll have saved £28,295.

                    Probably better than NV crap anyway.

                    Alternatively, by a nice Spanish Cava instead of French NV Moet muck. Far cheaper, far better.

                      Instead of buying your home during the biggest credit boom in history, at global peak prices, buy your home during a recession, thereby saving yourself a million pounds in interest payments over 25 years, avoiding negative equity and having the ability to afford a larger bedsit.
