The issue is those pushing the limits of their disposable income have less and less margin for error.
So become more and more cautious about any puchase!

It's incredible what cars you can buy at the moment if you have cash.

Its nice to be sitting on the cash but the choice is sooooooooo frustrating.

At the moment I'm finding a new favourite every day.

Trouble is the bloody road tax in 2010........

We're in the market at the moment for an estate car of some kind, haven't started hunting yet, but it is definitely the season for bagging a bargain.

I'm sorry to be crude, but you'd have to be stupid to think the credit crunch affected only stupid people.

The housing industry and all other associated industries have been hit exceptionally hard. People going out of business very, very fast.

Anyone with a mortgage, a car on finance that's in the higher tax band, anyone who shops at a supermarket..

It's hit my family hard, so thanks for the sentiment.

There's people out there who've lost their house this week mate and i read a thread in the off-topic forum about people spending money on a robotic vacuum cleaner.

Two different worlds.

Robot vacs are well cool. Get on the phone to Ocean finance, consolidate all your debts into one new debt and you will be able to get one. I am sure of it.
