    Only if you're a family, in debt, with expensive hobbies and you shop at Tesco so far.

    - £360 by cutting their holiday budget
    - £200 magazines
    - £2,600 by selling one of the bloke's motorbikes

    He can only cover one family! What's the point in covering someone with no debt, nothing to cut back on and grows their own veg?
  • It's amazing what other people appear to spend/waste their money on, isn't it? Four motorcycles when they have £14k of debt? It does not compute. Still, they were lucky, they didn't even have to take any really bitter medicine. I notice the £300 quid per annum in energy bills wasn't included in the final figures which was odd
