What is most wonderful about Denial, in terms of consumer debt, is
bad name that banks are getting for seducing innocent consumers into complex credit contracts. If fat McDonalds’ customers have to take responsibility for their actions, then poor borrowers should acknowledge
full consequences of excessive shopping.

‘What £1.1 trillion of debt actually means’, by Cashzilla
Consumers have already been given comparisons of debt and third world countries’ GDP. At Cashzilla, we don’t think
message is setting in. We asked Jamie, a local expert, to do a small scientific experiment, which involved going to
shop and buying a tube of smarties. The tube of smarties cost 40p and there were 42 smarties in
tube (a very significant number). Some magical calculations later, Jamie worked out that £1.1 trillion would amount to coating
world in smarties five million times over!

Rachel is one of two authors who write for Cashzilla. We don't take ourselves too seriously and rant about various personal finance issues from time to time.
