I'm so glad someone else shares that opinion. The amount of times I've tried to explain to people that "If you can't afford it, you shouldn't have it", but no; most people feel some kind of "right" to each and every consumer good ever made, regardless of their current income and level of savings.
Indeed, it's companies such as
BrightHouse (read ShiteHouse) who further this view in people, as they are willing to give loans (with an extortionate level of APR) to those who have CCJs because they have defaulted on loans in the past. Don't people ever think that, perhaps, you've been declined a loan by the world and it's dog because you're just plain shit with money?
