I can’t understand why they’re not being advised against these silly choices they’re making, by parents or family members etc.
She’s stated that she can’t afford some new glasses (no judgement here, been there) so how on EARTH can they afford a new car, a new house and a renovation?
It just does not make sense to me??? The car for example. Must be on finance as everyone has said. If I was in a position where I couldn’t afford to buy myself new glasses, I wouldn’t sign myself up for finance. And if I tried to, my family (mum specifically) would tell me to get a bloody grip and learn to live within my means. So they’ve either got a pretty naff support system around them, or they’re completely unable to manage their finances effectively. Either are pretty dire situations.
