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?

Yeah they are gone crap :mad:

Possibly

All I wanted was for people to give examples of similar things they see happening around them.

I doesn't have to be given to a pound necessarily people can find a good home in a variety of ways. Wasn't advocating having the animal destroyed.
On mortgage point people should take personal responsibility for their debts no one forced them to take on a mortgage

But they can't always find a good home. Ask anyone involved with Rescue and they will tell you that they are struggling to cope with the numbers of abandoned pets and often have to tell people that they can't take an animal for them. Most Rescues don't receive any government funding and are essentially run by volunteers who have to raise every single cent they can to pay for the food, shelter and vet treatment of animals in their care.

If a Rescue can't take them then the animals go to the Pound, and as I said earlier, if nobody adopts them they are killed after a week. There mostly isn't a fairytale ending for abandoned/surrendered animals.

Once someone got a free car because they didn't want to walk to the gate, and the welfare paid for a limousine to take some kids to McDonalds, and someone got free flip flops because they can't wear high heels, and another time someone got a million euro because they fell after tripping on a crack in the ceiling.

The worst one was when the welfare bought this guy a private island because he didn't think his council house was big enough. The even gave him a yacht to get to it, since his disability prevented him from getting the bus so it did.

Oddly enough Candie,in the current state of Irish society it's not even a question when circumstances such as the stalebread man outlines are mentioned.

Most hard pressed contributing types tend to have already pared back their lifestyles,in an ever more futile attempt to make their income match their outgoings.

From my own daily observations,a substantial number of the apparently dispossed and forgotten are to be found in possession of many consumer societal items...I Fones,Experia's,Lumia's...soverign rings...Nikes...Cigarettes,and thats before we get to the compulsory stuff such as "Blues" Reds" and the rest.

However,as long as the contributing classes can continue to contribute and the remainder can be kept "sweet" then all will be grand...just grand Ted.

You can buy all that on €188 pw ? lower if your under 25 which the group your pointing at is usually. These the ones with free houses cars fancy foreign holidays. I highly doubt their funding that via the dole, I would say other means. Being on the other side of the law and being on the dole are 2 different things, Yes they may receive it but it's not paying for that lifestyle.

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

Why in the name of all fuck would somebody just bring that up in a conversation?

Probably smart OP

Banks are giving write downs. They have to list all their spending and give it to the bank but they can lie about that. They have to attend meetings but if they are brazen well that's not going to worry them

Others will cut back everywhere they can to keep the mortgage paid
