Maintaining my interest

The BBC are publishing reactions to todays interest rate rise.

As usual in these times of cut cut cut, little attention is given to the responsible people who don't overstreatch themselves, pay interest on their credit cards.

People have been suffering due to interest rates being so low. Pensioners from the days before easy access to personal pensions are having their incomes squeezed. People not in a position to commit to homeowning need longer to build up that vital first deposit.

But of course as far as the media are concerned "everyone" is in debt. Anyone who puts money away to pay for things in the future, does without rather than run up debts is an oddball who is not worth talking about.

Surley with the so-called debt bomb under us attitudes have to change.
