    Whereas borrowing quite a bit of money on credit cards and only paying the minimum is a sound financial decision, isn't it?

    Sally Gee is pickled pink - the one who stated in a thread that I quote 'house prices have already picked up ' . The sentence construction and subject matter give it away.

    ROL LMFAO etc etc.

    Wow an annual income of about £14k and debts to the tune of £24,600 (not including a £69k mortgage).

    I don't want to be mean here, but is someone who has non-mortgage debt of twice their annual income really in a position to lecture us on financial matters?
