Credit is bad m'kay.
A few years back, my girlfriend at the time and I used to have a fucking magnificent time every now and then going clubbing. We were both hopeless with money and living well beyond our means on loans and credit cards...using one card to pay off another, paying the rent by card and so on. I cant really explain it, it was the time when banks were throwing finance at everyone willing to sign on the dotted line and we took all we could get. We were just really stupid.
We thought nothing of popping down to London for the weekend. From Aberdeen. We would drive down on Friday, spend Friday night and Saturday on the lash, then go home on the Sunday. We did this quite a few times and it never cost less than about a grand, by the time fuel, hotel, parking, drinks, restaurants etc were paid.

Whilst a grand on a weekend is pretty excessive, the long term effects are much worse. We both ended up being declared bankrupt and I still feel the effects of this now.
