Pushchairs for example - seem to range from £25 - £1,500! I don't even know where to start with that?! I appreciate this is a subjective…
How can I dissuade 19 year old DS from taking out car finance?
Hi All My 19 year old DS is dead set on taking out car finance. He wants approx £4k to buy an old Audi or BMW. He already has a car, which I bought him when he passed his test, but wants something more exciting.
