well COVID 19 has hit every ones pockets hugely million unemployed too . Then we had the Ukraine invasion and the price of fuel and electricity . There you are folks simple economics. See we live in a world where the credit card is King. I suspect more than 80 % of house holds have at least one if not 2 credit cards now . Spending your income before you get it
So something has to go Netflix and one day Sky and Virgin contracts But see Sky contracts are based on 18 months i think . So where Netflix and Amazon went wrong is that they did not introduce 12 month contracts silly mistake that was in my view
I have here Sky (no films or sport except Formula one Netflix and Amazon and no credit card guys. Not had one of those since 2004 . And i am on a low pension too and my wife has no income at all .
To me i cannot understand ( well i can actually) see how people spend more than they earn and simply use a credit card to pay for everything .
Remember guys those rates will go up by at least 2% from all credit cards adding to the fact fuel costs through the roof and electricity so something had to go
We live in a world i must have it now and we are prayed on by the banks
I have even seen a TV advert ( thought they was banned now ) telling people get a loan from us at 500% or more per annum
Perhaps if we all was more sensible ,would not get ourselves in this position in the first place . ie holidays abroad for the kids "who are you kidding " lets be honest you want o go on that holiday abroad ?
we both Netflix and Amazon suffering but there is worse here in the UK Amazon workers gone on strike
Have to blame COVID 19 and the war for all this prices of petrol gone up from £1.30p a year back to well over £1,80 only last week 50p increase is about 30% plus increase this then reflected on Gas and electricity up by 10% or more for the same periodSo do you think perhaps a lot of folks got fed up and just dropped their Prime memberships?
I remember saying to Mrs 12th that payday loans needed regulating when they first appeared - the incumbent powers that be decreed otherwise, but soon realised that modern-day voluntary slavery was perhaps not something they should be encouraging...I have even seen a TV advert ( thought they was banned now ) telling people get a loan from us at 500% or more per annum
