bank of mum and dad

just watched this program call bank of mun and dad, its where parents go and live with there kids for a week who got themselfs into debt, this couple this evening are 26,000 quid in debt there parents go through all there paper work of what they've spent and found where they have gone wrong,

the parents are horrified in how much the debt is but the daugher andher boyfriend arent bothered in the slightest and they dont seem to want to do owt the parents say, they have a car each and paying both monthly and the dad said to the daughters boyfriend to use a bike for a week as it was a 12 minuet ride and he moaned like a kid, they both smoke 20 fags a day which costs them 200 quid a month, they have 12 credit cards between them and the daughters excuse is well if i havnt got the money i can still get it if i like it they blow 80 quid ona night out and thats not including taxis and takeaways

but as the program went on they did give there new buget a go i myself have been in debt and it isnt very nice iam out of it now but at the time it was easy to spend money you havnt got and not have to worry about it but it catches up with you if you dont pay it off right away but i know now that iam never going to get in to that situation, this program bank of mum and dad is good and intresting to see how people live and throw away money then intresting to see the follow up to see how they get on 6 months later most make it and are happy and some struggle

i just hope i never get into as bad debt as some of these as i dont think i could handle the stress as the slight debt i was in worryed me to death, but living is expsenive and hard but you just have to be sensible, at the moment my biggest expense after my rent is food living by myself is hard not to waste a lot of food, but iam getting used to using things up and even if i dont get round to using my fresh veg i make someting out of it now and it lasts a couple of more days,

thats enough of me going off time for a soak and a read have a goodun and stay safe
