      it makes no sense. Young families don’t have $60,000 to throw around, so it’s either a van or junior’s college fund.

      But, the idea that you need a massive van after having an 8lb baby is pretty stupid.

        They have the money if they take out massive PCP loans that leave them with fuck all.

        I know people, mostly in their 20s, with larger PCP loan payments than my mortgage.

        In a few years they get a new car and the loan probably gets a bit bigger because the salesman talks them into being able to afford another £100/month by now.

      I’m pretty sure they’re the opposite of stoned, and even more confident that correcting that would do them a world of good. For one, they’d make better choices in vehicles than this bullshit.

      Oh. You meant that as an example of working class life. Sorry, I’m happily baked. 😄
