After watching this you may think twice about where you buy your food and what kind of food you buy. Highly recommended documentary. Share it with your friends.

I saw one doco ages ago about corn and how everything has some form of corn in it... mostly doco's depress me. Living in ignorance is kinda how I like to have it sometimes... I became a vegetarian due to a doco, 'nuff said really on that one!! I mean I think a lot of people should watch them and understand how the world is, but also knowing kinda makes me feel powerless as well... but yeah I'm a sucker for science-y type ones   :smth023

Lately I am watching 'Locked Up Abroad' which is an awesome documentary/television serie from National Geographic. This program features stories of people who have been arrested while traveling abroad, usually for trying to smuggle illegal drugs out of a country.

This is one of my favorites chapters:

The Money Trap: How the Banks Lure You Into Debt

A senior banking executive reveals how high street banks deliberately target their customers and push borrowing.

https://youtu.be/Fg4VhALXgwE

By the way, as someone who once worked in a bank I can confirm that borrowing money from them is very very bad idea. The only exception could be when you buy a house, but even in that case I would recommend you ask no more than 25% of the total price.

In general, try to stay away of banks like the plague!

When building a house, the usual recommendation is to build the "financing" of it on various "pillars": one part bank, another part your own savings, etc.

Ok, but where would I get money from, if I'd need it? From you (if I ask you nicely)?  :-D

Also, I think you can't put them all in the same "drawer". I am part of a "mutual bank", i.e. me and many other people form a "companionship" and (at least in theory) we "own" the bank. (Don't get all excited: my share is like 50 euro and I receive about 3 euro each year as a "result"...)

In Peru poor people make this to collect money

or you can also https://www.gofundme.com/

of course people would do this in extreme cases (e.g. someone suffering cancer and requires a treatment that cost lots of money). IMO borrowing money from the bank to for example buy a car or pay a trip is insane.

Why? If you can expect to be able to pay it back? Interest rates are at an all-time low, you won't get it cheaper.

For myself: I had a slow summer business-wise. Still I have to pay monthly bills (e.g. health insurance, pension scheme, electricity, water etc). How can I keep this up without "borrowing" from the bank? Of course the easiest way is to just "overdraw the account", but you'll pay insane rates for doing this...
(And no, in Germany you won't be able to start any business without having a bank account.)

I think a bank is a better way than to borrow from the "mafia" or so, because they will break your legs if you won't pay back...  :evil:

Also, being in debt is not the end of the world. Nowadays there are organisations (governmental or NGO) which can help you with these issues if you are "in too deep".  :cool

I would borrow from the bank only if it's REALLY important. E.g. if I need 10K to buy a 150K house, I will borrow those 10K to the bank. But I would never borrow for leisure.
