Bobby, the Nigerian government is sending you a fine letter offering to provide you with a credit card with a US$ 10 Trillion limit.

Throw your tatty old penny credit card away.

Its too early. There is still backwash from the financial chaos in China.

27 bill all on the plastic fantastic !!

Like I said in another thread debt is now the rule rather than the exception !! It's great to be a Shylock these days Wink

big numbers really scare and confuse you, dont they? just to break it down for you small child, that is $1000 per person. JUST a thousand dollars, the same amount the average worker makes in 4 days.

imagine if you understood context?

Your numbers imply that children and the unemployed earn $ 250 per day. Otherwise you would have presented different numbers.

Try again. The asbestos fibres damaged the inside of your cranium where a brain would reside in a normal person.

I have a Visa Card for buying things over the 'Net - or telephone, but have only ever used it as a Debit Card ~ (despite letters from Melbourne BEGGING me to use it as a credit card so they can rip me off with a HUGE interest rate if I should happen to default on the repayments).

And then we have all these Instant Cash shops in every shopping strip nowadays ... and the people I see coming and going from these dens of iniquity are ALWAYS the ones who can least afford to borrow at their high interest rates.

Pacific Islanders and skinny-to-the-bone wretched-looking white women who were, or are still on, Methadone ...

The same mob that frequent the TAB office all day - every day. Losers-and-boozers who rotate hourly between the Pub, the TAB, and the Quick Money agencies

.

Can't say I've noticed that here - a minority of them, sure.

But by no means all, not even most.

The newest ABS data says ordinary full time adult is paid roughtly 1,500 a week. It's not too different from above. But what you bring home probably only 250 a day, you need to pay for the stupid gov, don't forget. Grin
