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.

Perhaps I should look for a cheaper car...

Originally posted by zeitghostI sold my beloved Fiat Croma to a pair of lads for £70.
They drove it around like lunatics then set it on fire when the radiator went.
At which point the police phoned up.
Same pair of scumbags later broke into my garage to steal a petrol can of petrol, nicked my neighbour's boat & made off down the canal to where their scooter was out of petrol.
Being twostroke, I hope the fecker seized up on them.
