This is possibly some thing that only applies to me in my own social circle. Given how every one else I know complains about the cost of their debts !
There must be others out there in the big wild world that feel the same as I do though.
I have paid off my debts by scrimping and scrapping never getting married or having children as I was aware that I could not afford to do that in this culture. I have helped out my friends’ by giving them a roof over their head or giving them money to support the children they have I have even had their children live here with me when things where difficult I have mended and made do struggled to never be in debt and saved as much as possible, recycled and been green from my earliest possible age of responsibility. Never bought gadgets I don’t need or wasted money on none essentials.
I still have some savings that are losing value every day in the current situation. I have a house that is bought and paid for but is rapidly going to worth less than I have paid for it if the situation continues to deteriorate.
I am now sharing it with two mate who are struggling both are homeless one has a job but cant afford to rent a place and the other is being feed and housed by me and is walking the streets of London trying to find a job with what little money he gets from the state as a homeless person.
Prior to being made homeless he worked for a homeless charity as a £40 a week volunteer but due to UK government rules he had to be made homeless after 2 years.
I am retired and am a full time care giver for my elderly mother and father now in their late 80`s with health and dementia now in my 60`s.
People like me are paying for the world money crisis caused by greedy rich people and their banks and company’s. Wanting more and bigger profits. The question is for what ?
The reality of the capitalist system is that those of us who scrimp and scrap to make sure they don’t go in to debt, mend, make do, recycle, save go without. Are always the ones who are ripped off exploited and abused by those who have because they are greedy and those who have not because they have no choice they have to do it in order to survive.
Governments and organised religions by their nature exploit this to further their own agendas and prejudices and to maintain the structure of their own hierarchies in a completely selfish abusive way If the human race is ever to become the truly enlightened, egalitarian, harmonious, peaceful, exploratory race that can and will bring life in its glorious nature to the whole of the creation and be what the false prophets of religion and capitalism have held up to us as the goal for all the years of so called civilisation.
We need to rebel against our institutions and end the hold of religions and governments over the human race and become the enlightened beings we where always intend to be with institutions serving the will of the people rather than the people serving the will of the institution.
The current trend to self services in super markets why we have huge unemployment shut the self services and employ more people use the cash we spend on war to feed the people and support the living not create more fields of the dead.
Why an Olympics in London that money could have been spent on home care for the sick and elderly and housing for the homeless.
Who actually needs an Olympics if it was to be off any use at all the competitions should settle wars instead of just being for fun then at least it would have a purpose.
To solve the world crisis we need to return to labour intensive society where nothing is done by machine that can be done by hand.
The flaw of course with this thinking is that in the developed world at least most of the population can not do anything with its hands it needs mechanical devises and electronic devices to do any think at all.
In the case of one of the people who lives in my house the younger of the two 28 years old he even picks up the rechargeable screwdriver to put a screw in any thing he would not dream of using a hand held one where as I use a hand held for all but the biggest jobs where it would take me all day if the 200 screws had to be put in by hand.
May be its just an age thing?
