only thing we have ever borrowed for is the mortgage.Originally posted by MaryPoppins View PostOh, sure.
We have used interest free credit but the money sits in a high interest savings account and Mrs V walks down and pays for it the day its due. She would have a fit if we borrowed anything and I'm too tight.
Cars, Holidays furniture etc paid for up front, if we can't afford it we don't have it.Comment
