On affording things

It seems to me that one of the massive things, that has changed in my life from the years of growing up in Gourock, is the entitlement that the vast majority of people have to have things that they can’t afford.

It seems to me that if you want to have something and you don’t have the money, you have a couple of choices.

  1. Don’t have it, until you have the money to buy it.
  2. Borrow to buy it and risk the consequences of that.

It also seems to me, that most people take the second option but delete the possibility of consequence.

I watch now as people buy things repeatedly, and tell me “it’s an investment”, if you buy it for status, it’s unlikely to grow (apart from very few options).

People need to be honest with themselves about what they’re buying and what they get out of what they’re buying.

A holiday is not an investment, neither is a honeymoon, and neither is a wedding party. Investments are quiet things, £20 a month, when no one is looking for 10 years; becomes a lot of money, but it’s not impressive and nobody cares.

Investments are generally long term, but everybody seems to think that they are short term.

It’s always better to save now and buy later, but more and more people will not accept this, and it leads us back to the position we find ourselves in now.
