    A local family only pay interest only on their mortgage. I could understand that if below wasn't happening.

    Eat lunch out every Sunday.
    3-4 sky subscriptions in the house.
    Each has a car.
    Yet one of them only works and p/t at that.
    Always looking for new tv's, stoves etc

    Crazy mixed up priorities IMO a roof over your head is more important than the discovery channels. I find it hard to disagree with banks telling people to cancel sky get rid of a dog etc

    What examples do you know, of people with screwed up priorities in your opinion?

    What business is it of yours Op what they spend their money on?
    Maybe you should go out and like "do stuff" rather than curtain twitching.
    Much better for you in the long run.

    Why would somebody need 3 or 4 subscriptions in the one house?

    Well, a friend of my was down the social recently telling your wan he couldn't sign on for the next month as he was to be away on a months trip to Thailand. He was just back from India, the same lad. I heard the social give him a few bob to make sure he wouldn't be left short on his trip.

    What's stupid about that family. They save on payments. House will never be reposssed. Gubins the tax payer who is paying a non tracker is paying for it. That's who is the idiot here.

    Let me guess, you know this from talking to them, pretending to be friendly to their faces and then going off talking about them behind their backs.
    They can pay whatever they like and it's none of your business. Look after your own affairs and keep your mouth shut about other people's.

    People spending €3000-4000 a year on cigarettes and then claiming they don't have enough money for food, heat, rent.

    Exactly 4 sky subscriptions at €65 is €260 a month
    1 sky subscription with multroom would be no more than €100

    Im sure each member are paying €65 instead of €20 each month :confused:

    What a load of ****e the OP has posted

    Touched a nerve have I?? I thought this was a forum for expressing an opinion I have done that and if you don't like it not my problem. They volunteered info . I did not go seeking it. And I made my opinion clear to them. Who are you to be telling anyone to shut up

    OP, how can you possibly agree with people having to get rid of a pet because their mortgage provider wants the money the owner spends on the pet? You do realise that most dogs/cats surrendered to pounds are killed after a week don't you?

    In all fairness if you did do plenty of things other than minding what other people do with their money, it probably would mean that you wouldn't have the time to spend thinking about other people's business. And certainly not enough time to go to the trouble of starting a thread about it.
