Lucky Jim quote- I've never been in debt in my life, is there something wrong with me?..
Yes,there is something wrong--you're lying to us. Or,I guess your parents could be rich.
Nah, I'm in my 60's and have never had or wanted or needed a Credit card in my life, probably because I live a simple life, no car, no smoking, no drinking. If I want anything I just pay in cash at the stores, or use my Debit Card to buy stuff online.
I had this amusing dialog with my bank last year-
YOUNG LADY TELLER (smiling)- "We'll fix you up with a Credit card"
ME- "I don't need one, I've been using my Debit card just fine for years, so why do I need a Credit card as well?"
HER (in wide-eyed shock)- "Oh but everybody needs a Credit card nowadays!"
ME (smiling)- "But I'm not everybody"
HER- "Er...we'll fix you up with one anyway, you don't have to use it"
So I let her waste 25 minutes of her time doing the paperwork and computer entries to "fix me up", then when the Credit card arrived through the post i cut it up and binned it without activating it, just in case there were hidden charges and stuff in the small print!
Catch my drift, most people nowadays think it's perfectly NORMAL to be up to their necks in debt, so the banks encourage them into the red like lambs to the slaughter!
Jesus said:-
"Don't dance to the world's tune" (Matt 11:16/17)
and I've always danced to nobody's tune except my own..
