    Not another Credit Crunch thread:rolleyes: , but I would like to hear about people they know who are either in complete denial about their finances or are so reckless that they deserve whats coming to them

    Here is one I came aross from their financial adviser, couple is having financial problems, adviser notices that they have 2 SUV's in drive and suggests that they trade down to 2 Skoda Estates. Anyoo wife responds "no way! I couldn't live with the shame! "

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    And they'll probably moan about the Govt. mismanaging the economy while they mismanage the household.

    Are they also advising the government as well by the way - it would help to explain a lot!
