Gee...if you only knew me. I am not some drop dead who has spent all their money on booze, computer games and a Plasma TV. I wasn't being literal either when I said I have "nought" to show for it.
I have a good job. I have a good education. I have no debt.
But I am worried.
Because despite the above, I am worried about the rising cost of living, bills that never end, food prices that keep rising, governments that lie, banks that halt access to our money due to IT problems, public transport, infrastructure and mobile phone services that are beyond third world. I worry for me and for my children who will come into this world.
Aren't you? Should we just be happy having our mates over for a BBQ on Sunday thinking "all's good, mate" whilst the world around us disintegrates the concept of good work, of family.
I can buy a house but I don't want to - because I don't want to be a slave to the system for the next 30 years. I'd rather save and wait for the inevitable drop that will come sooner than we think.
So, I do agree with you when you say, "it's all your own choices". I've made mine. But when the the time comes, don't blame the banks or anyone else for the extra large loan and investment advice, like the Storm Financial Services "victims" are doing. It was your choice.
