Greed! It is the curse of mankind, and for what? What is the purpose of this insatiable greed we have? Peace, security, power perhaps? Most of the time it is so we can surround ourselves with stuff, more stuff, and yet more stuff! So what is this ‘stuff’? It is material possessions that’s what! We like to shop until we drop so as to show off to others and display our status to the society in which we live. Those who are unable to afford this stuff jus so that they can keep up with the Jones’ will take out cash loans just to satisfy their needs. Note that’s wants, not needs. If only people were so passionate about saving as they are for ways to make money fast & easy, then the world would be a much better shape and countries wouldn’t be in such a financial mess as they are at present.

People in the western world are begging for credit help and financial assistance, not so that they can use it for investing in a new business or home improvements project, oh no, it’s so they can replace a perfectly good car with an even better one, a new boat perhaps, clothes, electronics, cosmetic surgery ad infinitum.

It seems the only thing people hate about this so called credit crunch is that is has prevented them from living above their means and put a plug into their shopping addictions. Where and when is it all going to end?
