Loans for Benefits
Comments
-
To be honest I think a lot of the contributors have shown remarkable restraint. There is genuine concern here that people often see loans as a way to achieve something out of reach where they can often be the first step on the road to misery.
What has happened to people's expectations that they feel that a car (a "newish" one) is a necessity rather than a luxury regardless of circumstance?
So, as kindly as possible, you can't afford this. Please try and fix up the current one or find a decent car for a few hundred.Can I help?0
