RE: The questions of each day
You'd be surprised how it is in my country; first, people spend money on beer and cigarettes, and if there's anything left over, food for the children. Of course, there's never enough for the bills, and they end up cutting off the service.
My neighbors across the street have their electricity cut off every couple of months, and as soon as the workers leave, they reconnect it. But they do have cars, and they only buy the most expensive brands.
Sounds like the immigrants we have and somehow I envy the fact they go for food first and whatever they like. Not that I would like the stress of being cut off. With us you are registrated in a national databank for defaulters, also everyone with a loan or debts are in it. Buying a phone through instalments included. Your data will be saved for five years after you paid off your debts. This means you can have a hard time to get credit somewhere, a loan or whatever you need.
By the way, here many, if not nearly everyone has loans, debts from study, to couch, to house, car, phone, bike, kitchen, vacation you name it. They will pay back + interest till they die.
Hehe, it's very strange how people have different priorities depending on the culture. I always think that if my country had winters like in the northern hemisphere, not even half the population would make it to the following spring. 😂
