It's a sellers market in the world of faulty headphones.

In an ideal world that's actually not far off the actual amount it should have gone up in that time. If inflation is a steady 5% across 10 years then the price will go up by a factor of 1.6 over 10 years.

Have just got off the phone from the CCCS and I feel so much better.
Theyve worked out a budget for me, which means I can afford to pay for everything and not go overdrawn every month.

I am also getting a small amount from my Grandad dying earlier in the year which will mean I can pay off my credit card and my overdraft, so I will be starting from scratch and not going more and more overdrawn every month.

Anyone else struggling, I can thoroughly recommend them.

Great news Nipples

Excellent news Knipples.

I can highly recommend these guys: http://www.capuk.org/home/index.php
They do free courses for helping people learn to manage their money and also will also give you advise in bad situations. Their work is getting more and more recognition around the country, and they're already well respected by various financial organisations.

Hmmm, Christians reaching out the desperate - I remain cynical

That's kinda tragic, given how much outreach work the church is involved in. But, hey, it rarely gets reported in the news. It's not "newsworthy" at least not in comparison to the latest things that celebrity airheads have been up to. No that's obviously far more important than letting people know there are lots of good honest people out there working their arses off to help people.

Ever heard of Mercy Ships, for example?

Yeah, I know the work they do and why they do it. Some do it because they like to do good and think they're doing good. They also like to promote Christianity.

All in all, I'd rather go to an organisation that just offered financial advice without prayer.
