Remember all those advertisements inciting us to consolidate our loans – you know the ones, a man is adrift at sea and Ocean Finance comes to the rescue… well, the times they are a-changin. Two high street banks are now extolling the virtues of saving. Apparently the feeling that saving gives you is one akin to the feeling a 12 year old boy gets from pulling a wheelie on his BMX – woohoo, I’m in!
Seriously though – it is slightly scary that the banks are now asking us for money instead of the other way round. Speaking as one who has finally started a proper savings account – I’m a little worried that my bank is going to use it to mop up their own debts… just my luck I guess…
