As they`d say in Ibiza - if you`re going to, then `GO LARGE` There is no point in having a poxy debt that you may be able to repay - get as much credit out as you can and max out. Push it to the absolute limit - and then find ways to push the envelope even further. Become so indebted that the figures you owe no longer have any meaning, and your creditors will be asking themselves `Why didn`t we see it coming?` Declare yourself bankrupt then repeat the procedure in 6 years. The great thing about being in debt is that GorDarling still haven`t figured out a way to tax it! Happy days! It is an oft-repeated mantra by banksters that they are not a social service; I beg to differ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes debt is wealth. Toxic debt makes you incredibly wealthy. However it appears that someone needs to put a call into the OECD who have just declared the global recession over.

interestrateripoff Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 http://www.cnbc.com/id/32668728 The global recession is coming to an end faster than thought just a few months ago and may already be over, according to forecasts published by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development on Thursday.The recovery may even prove a little stronger than previously predicted, OECD chief economist Jorgen Elmeskov told Reuters in an interview where he elaborated on the forecasts for several key economies. "Compared with expectations a few months ago, we now have a recovery which ... may be coming a little earlier and it may be slightly stronger because financial conditions have improved more rapidly than we assumed a few months ago," Elmeskov said. The OECD forecasts show a third-quarter return to expansion of economic output, as measured by gross domestic product, in the United States and the 16-country euro zone, led by its two largest economies, Germany and France.

Become so indebted that the figures you owe no longer have any meaning, and your creditors will be asking themselves `Why didn`t we see it coming?` Not forgetting the adage “If you owe the bank $100, that’s your problem. If you owe the bank $100 million, that’s the bank’s problem.†I do seriously wonder what it will take for all the thousands of people with debt (that cannot pay down) to realise that they could just write it off. Maybe if house prices fall properly next year people will just stop paying their mortgages and then banks will realise that £1.2tr of debt really is their problem. Of course it might end up as the govt problem, and then through tax-payer funding it becomes my problem. QB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QB my, oh my, the Courts WILL be busy in your scenario. while the debtor is solvent, the debt is still an asset. If bankrupt, they have the pledged asset.....and they wont be buying them through shell companies if there are a lot of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
