People overstretching themselves is a fairly recent trait.No spare money for the" nicer" things in life because they have mortgaged themselves up to the hilt.Instead of making do ie: buying second hand furniture,second hand car etc everything has to be top of the range and brand new.

I appreciate the cost of buying/renting a house is ridiculous nowadays, but the expectations of JAM changes every couple of years.It can now be scientifically measured by the size of the TV, people will be fighting over this Friday.
