@futurebird @sidereal @fivetonsflax I think we need to re-normalise people saving up to buy things, and 'being able to afford it' NOT meaning 'being able to make the repayments'. A year ago, I commissioned a professional to make me a ukelele. His terms were simple - 50% to start (which gives him the assurance you actually will buy it, and covers all the costs of materials), and 50% when finished. I had calculated what I could afford, and when, and it works.
