    Just watching reeling in the years earlier reminded me of the ssia scheme which the gov gave you one euro for every four you saved.

    They matured in around in 2006/2007 *i think?* which kick-started the economy again,the day they where released i was going into the bank to pay off a small loan,the bank had chocolate rose sweets on the counter and balloons up to welcome the ssia people.

    Do you have yours still?,or did you spend it on stuff like cosmetic surgery!-

    COSMETIC surgery clinics are booked out until the end of August as SSIA plastic surgery shoppers prepare to splurge their hard-earned cash. Women want breastwork and liposuction while men are more inclined to opt for ear tucks and nose jobs. And they are not afraid to splash out up to €7,000 for the most expensive procedures, including tummy tucks.

    I thought people didn't spend as much as expected. I remember living with a girl who worked in a bank the time they were introduced, she said she made a fortune on commissions on getting people to sign up.
