    It's a business. Do you now see it for what it really is?

    Yup.. I just wish somebody pointed out to a younger me that unlike every other normal debt in the world where people want their money back sooner, banks would rather string it out till you die!

    I don't think many people understand that part of the game because it's not what the banks publicly want to tell you..

    But hey.. what can you do? :-)

    I must be a bit strange, I never considered that my bank was my friend, I always assumed they were a business out to make money. With that in mind I would rather go without things than put myself in a position where they could stitch me up. Am I the only one with this outlook?
