Saying to my mate yesterday when we saw an advert for a firm named "drafty", as in overdraft but not sounding so menacing, that the fuckers are STILL trying to encourage people in to debt.
The advert talked about how to handle that "sudden unexpected expense".
No advert suggests people save up and have a safety net. Nope.
Just debt.
More and more and more debt.
Sickening.

I knew someone who budgeted her overdraft into her budget weekly, like actually considered it as part of her spending power, every week. *Every week.* This person signed up for a chime card just to get a free 35 dollar overdraft once a week. Wanted me to sign up for one so she could get the $20 referral and buy a cape because she'd already used her 1 fee free overdraft for the week and it was Thursday.
Just putting out there, while these adverts are certainly evil, they're not for you and me. They're for a particular breed of people that can't think 24 hours ahead. And you can't help those people; they have to help themselves and they're wholly uninterested.
