The ads that REALLY bug me are those that say

My other half is learning to drive and wants to buy a car when he passes his test. We were talking about it the other day and my eldest son (age 8) pipes up that we should go to Yes Car Credit, as anyone can get a car off them. I said "oh yes, and what exactly are we supposed to use to pay them back" and he said "don't worry, they make sure it's an affordable monthly payment". :eek:
I was very shocked and he got an intense lesson on borrowing!Here I go again on my own....0 -
