Sale bargains?

We live very close to a retail estate, where there are many shops that sell household goods, electrical goods and clothes. Everyday since Christmas Day I have witnessed the gridlock of never ending streams of traffic to the spending frenzy!

It never ceases to amaze me what comes over the population, when that magic word 'sale' is plastered across the media. I was always told a bargain is only a bargain if you actually need it! Sadly it seems that I am in the minority and common sense goes out of the window.

That may be fine if you actually have the money, but with credit card debt at a record high, this hardly seems the case.

In years gone by credit was a dirty word, whereas today it is socially acceptable, if not trendy.

The weak and vulnerable are exploited by our capitalist society and the financial money machine rolls on. Even the young are indoctrinated into thinking that credit is acceptable, as students are forced into significant debt as they start out on that rock path we call 'life!'.....namely as student loans!
