There's nothing as pained as topping the table from the early start of season, and giving up to your preeminent rival, specially when the league is coming to an end. Mikel Arteta and the teammates are devastated by the fact that they were so close to accumulating the Premier League trophy. The Gunners played incredibly well in league games, but they were eliminated from all European events, hoping to compete in the English Premier League, which they were unable to do due to exhaustion. Mikel Arteta will not relent on his job any longer; he will sign more backup players for his important players in the squad, as injuries continue to plague his squad.

Arsenal can blame no one but themself for losing the title this season. They played really good football around the half of the season. But as the season end was coming closer, their form started dropping which made them lose the title in the end. Man City is a better team and it is only fair that they have won the title. Arsenal simply didn't deserve it.
This was something that was bound to happen, when a team couldn't maintain their form, then that team would be pushed aside by other teams, no matter how strong they were. Except for their position like Napoli in Serie A, they also slipped a little when they entered the end of the season, but the point gap they had was so far away that it was impossible to overtake it even though they had suffered 2 or even 3 defeats. That's a different thing from Arsenal, they don't have much difference in points, Manchester City can catch up when Arsenal have lost 2 or 3 times, while Arsenal have done that quite often and the results are as we see now.

It is very normal for Manchester City fans to see themselves as the team that is close to victory while preparing for this match. They beat Real Madrid 4-0, one of the favorite teams of the cup. They also won the Premier League title. As a result, Inter fans are more cautious than Manchester City fans in this tough final match.
Judging from the strength of the two clubs that will fight in the final, Manchester City is clearly the superior team. Manchester City managed to qualify for the final by beating Real Madrid 4-0 in the second leg after previously only being able to draw 1-1 at the Bernabeu (5-1 on aggregate).
Winning the UCL trophy has been Manchester City goal so far, after they previously failed in the 2020/21 season final, now Manchester City has a great opportunity to win the UCL trophy for the first time. This time Manchester City cannot make the slightest mistake like what happened in the 2020/21 final, they must play discipline by keeping Inter in their defensive area as they did when they beat Real Madrid.

It will be very painful if they fail again and maybe Manchester City will take a long time to get back to the champions league final because every season the competition will be very different, on paper Manchester City is stronger and Inter Milan looks like they have no chance of beating this opponent, but everything the possibility is still possible for this to happen, some time ago several Manchester City core players were reportedly injured one of which was Jack Grealish and Ruben Diaz, City had many options but of course, players who are used to playing in the champions league will be expected to be able to compete because their experience is needed because of the pressure in the match the finale would be so big it could be nerve-wracking. Indeed, there is still time for these players to recover because it doesn't seem like a serious injury, just the possibility of normal fatigue or illness so that when the final match is later they will be ready to defend their club.
Manchester City will go all out, and not only Manchester City, Inter Milan will do the same to make them win this match. Manchester City's strength is above Inter Milan at the moment, so they have an advantage they can take advantage of. But that doesn't mean they will win this match easily, it takes hard work and focus from them to be able to finish the match with a win. Pep Guardiola should come down with his best strategy, there is no time for him to start the match with an experimental strategy.

Messi started his career in Barcelona and has played for Barcelona for a long time. Barcelona have won many trophies due to their prowess on the field. But towards the end of Lionel Messi's career, Barcelona released Lionel Messi due to financial problems. After letting go of Lionel Messi, they made some great transfers to bring in a number of star players. 
Lionel Messi is planning to leave PSG just as Barcelona are once again showing interest in signing Messi. Not only are Barcelona interested in Messi, but the Saudi League has also made a big offer for him. 
Messi is more likely to return to Barcelona even though various clubs have offered Messi. Messi might want to end his career at the club where he started his career.
Leo Messi has achieved his dreams by reaching his ultimate goals in football, definitely he will exits PSG this summer, we're waiting for the club he intends to make moves. The blaugrana are interested in getting Leo Messi back to Camp Nou; the fans and his teammates miss him deeply, and his absence is felt on the field. Lionel Messi is the acknowledged GOAT of football, outperforming his opponent, Cristiano Ronaldo, by a wide margin. Barcelona introduced the world to the miracle youngster, who is now in his prime. He's such a terrific player that young players look up to him as a football guru.

There are rumors that the Barcelona management is interested in bringing Messi back into the team. But is it believable? Messi is one of the best players in the history of Barcelona. And Barcelona management forced Messi to leave the team. And will Barcelona benefit from Messi? now he is almost 36. Messi's fitness is good enough so far. But it is unlikely that his fitness will be good in the future. Barcelona will want to take such a big risk? If Messi receives very low wages from Barcelona, then maybe Barcelona will add Messi to the team. But Messi don't do that.
Rumors about Barcelona's desire to bring Lionel Messi back have been heard for a long time, and it seems that until now they are still insisting on getting him back. I hope Barcelona can consider everything, don't let their wishes be based on Messi as their legend alone. The reason is that in my opinion is not acceptable at all, especially if it costs a lot, while their current finances cannot be said to be good.

Congratulations to Barcelona, they are good in using home advantage to defeat any strong teams in their home to achieve victory at the end of the match, which they did in this match to defeated Mallorca 3-0 to improve their points. It was a surprised match to Mallorca fans, because Barcelona players started scoring goals from 1 minutes before one of the Mallorca player got red card in the first half that gave Barcelona more opportunities to disgrace them with many goals to achieved the victory from the match. Based on the points Barcelona has achieved from the beginning of this tournament till now, showed that they are in a good condition to win this la Liga league title to make their fans and coach happy.
Everyone will surely admit that the performance of Barcelona's players has been very solid from start to finish this season which is still giving a very strong performance in every game.
Until several other clubs find it difficult to catch up with Barcelona's points like Real Madrid which find it difficult to catch up with their points.
But there is something even more interesting than the rest of this match, which will determine who deserves second place in the standings between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, which is only 1 point apart and the decider is the match that will come later and I am still sure that Real Madrid will dominate the position. 2nd in this LaLiga.
Barcelona has been extraordinary this season, they can prove that they deserve to be champions this season. But that is also inseparable from the declining performance of their rivals, Real Madrid, so that makes it easier for them to win the title without any significant pressure.
I consider this season has passed, and I want to see how in the next season. They already had a solid foundation at this point, just adding a few more polishes they would only get stronger. Player transfers this summer will be an opportunity for them to further strengthen their squad.

The Dortmund team has performed exceptionally well this season, but in the end I expected the Dortmund team to secure the title. But in the end, Bayern failed to secure the title after falling behind Munich on points.
Dortmund's failure which occurred at home was the reason why Dortmund could not secure the Bundesliga title this season, because Dortmund, who should have won the match against Mainz, were unable to get full points because the match was a draw. In addition, Bayern Munich was even able to win at Cologne, making Bayern Munich return to the top of the standings even though the number of points is the same as Dortmund. Try to see the standings now.
Before that I would like to congratulate Bayern Munich for successfully defending their title, albeit in a very dramatic way.
Again, this is not a good season for Borussia Dortmund, I mean this season they are not lucky enough to win the title, because they have to give up the title that is right in front of their eyes and they failed in the last game. It must be very painful, they only lost in productivity to Bayern Munich so they had to swallow the bitter pill. It's really unbelievable what happened in the last week of the Bundesliga.
1005  Economy / Economics / Re: What is your biggest obstacle to achieving financial freedom ? on: May 28, 2023, 04:26:01 PM
Yes, I remember one word "If you have knowledge and money that will increase your confidence level", well, not all of them have that because every individual has unique obstacles in achieving financial freedom. These barriers can be excessive debt, lack of income or even limited self-confidence.

Don't hope, because all change starts with us and that's what I understand means. There is no instant solution to achieving financial freedom, but with a combination of planning and the right strategy, consistency and patience, we can build a strong foundation to achieve that goal.
Everyone has their own way of achieving financial freedom, it's just that as you said there are many inhibiting factors that will ultimately make it difficult to achieve.
Certainly having a strong foundation to achieve that is one way to enable us to achieve the intended financial freedom. Your point is right, planning is something we should not miss, it is the first step that will help us what we should and should not do. You could say that is our benchmark for stepping.

The last round of the premiere league is about to begin in less than half an hour and things are heated between everton and leicester in the bottom of the table, things are not looking good for leicester since they need to win today and wait for everton to drop points against bournemouth, it will be a tough day for them.
35 minutes have passed, and no goals have been scored, even the course of the game is mediocre, the game is mostly stuck in the midfield. It will be interesting to see how the games play out at the same time between teams who are in an insecure zone and they are competing for a place in the Premier League next season in their own game. I don't want to rush to conclusions, because the game is still very long, there is even a second half that might change the situation.
1007  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: May 27, 2023, 07:18:01 PM

with a difference of up to 5 goals, it is difficult for Benzema to be able to shift Lewandowski, the chance is only around 30%, besides that, Lewandowski still has the opportunity to add another goal (in the matches against Mallorca and Celta Vigo)

Benzema's performance is sometimes unexpected. He sometimes explodes and even scores a hat-trick or a brace in one match but on the other hand in other matches he sometimes struggles a lot regardless of the injury he is currently having.
I think this can also be a reference indeed. It's difficult for Benzema at the moment because at least he has to score 2 hat-tricks to equal or even surpass Lewandowski this time, and even then if Lewandowski stops scoring goals for Barcelona in their remaining matches.
Now it's possible actually apart from Barcelona bringing the La Liga trophy, Lewandowski also set new individual records with the top scorer here for the first season he has run.
The number goal difference between Robert Lewandowski and Karim Benzema I think is enough for Lewandowski to comfortably win the spanish league golden boot this season not because Benzema can't actually pull up a surprise and win it but because I don't think he's motivated enough to close the gap.
After Real Madrid was eliminated from the Champions League having already won the Copa Del Rey, and knowing too well that Barcelona are gonna win the league, the players of the club I think became unmotivated to win games since they know that there's no other trophy that's up for grabs again this season
The last 2 matches for Madrid if Benzema still wants to keep that then he has to play very well because at least 2 hatricks or even more to secure it but of course it's not an easy thing for Benzema of course.
Because we are certainly aware that Benzema's condition is sometimes erratic, this is not a problem, so as previously discussed, this was enough for Lewandowski to maintain his current position and become the top scorer in his first season.
This will also be a bit of a slap in the face for some of the Barcelona fans who are still criticizing Lewandowski in this thread a few pages back because he really can repay with excellent individual results.

Even though Manchester City's chances are indeed bigger than their opponents in the FA Cup final, they still can't be said to be champions, because they haven't even played yet. Caddy I do not agree with this.
Inter Milan is actually not really a favorite in the Champions League, they were even considered to be eliminated by AC Milan in the last semifinal. But they managed to show that most people's predictions were wrong about them and they managed to beat AC Milan. Now they are also not the favorites in the final, but we will see what they can do.
No reasons to consider Inter Milan are above Manchester City or Simeone Inzaghi is above Pep Guardiola in terms of quality. However it does not make Inter Milan as losers in the final match and Manchester City are winners even before the final match has yet started.

It will begin only after a whistle from a referee and we'll see who are winners after the final whistle. For now, we don't know who will be winners and Inter Milan had to play many matches, went through many difficulties to be one of two teams in the final. They surely want to play the final and fight for any chance to become winners. So it won't be easy for Manchester City and they have to play it seriously, pay some costs to win it.

I wouldn't consider them to be above Manchester City regardless of anything because the gap is strong now but that doesn't mean in this case they can also be underestimated because Inter are one of the quite strong clubs for Serie A this season.
My point is that in this case underestimation occurs, it is indeed possible that results that are not really wanted can still be for Manchester City because of course when underestimating your opponent you can say this will actually backfire.
In terms of player quality we already know that Manchester City are now far superior even they are favorites but Inter can still bite.

Even though Manchester City's chances are indeed bigger than their opponents in the FA Cup final, they still can't be said to be champions, because they haven't even played yet. Caddy I do not agree with this.

In football anything can happen, especially in the final which has only been played once, all the teams are ready to give their all in the final.
Seeing Inter Milan's recent performance makes me a little optimistic that they will provide great resistance for Man City in the UCL final later.
Inter Milan have just won the Coppa Italy final, that will really help to improve their mentality and also Inter Milan also has a great chance to be able to finish in the top 4 of the final Serie A standings, if you see all that is the result of Inter Milan's consistent performance lately they did a tough job and so far they have managed to get through it all.
At the moment, Inzaghi's risk is actually a little difficult in my opinion because if they really want to play an open game then it is clear that their chances of winning are very small, but on the other hand carrying out a total defensive scheme is also still dangerous when you see the strength of Manchester City now.
In football, all possibilities can still happen, but for the current probability, Manchester City is still very far above Inter, although in this case all of course needs to prove 90 minutes in the match.
1009  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 26, 2023, 07:30:08 AM
This is a very successful season for Inzaghi and Inter both. I mean they have already won two titles - Italian Super Cup and Coppa Italia. In addition to that they are about to finish the season in the Serie A in top four thanks to Juventus' punishment of points deduction. And now they are about to face Manchester City in the Champions League finale. This must be like the dream season for Inter in the recent years. Maybe they couldn't be competitive for the Serie A title but in this situation it is still a win for them.

Even Napoli haven't got this many titles despite playing amazingly throughout the season.  Cheesy  Even if they don't add the Champions League title as well to this collection I think Inter board will still think seriously about offering a new contract to Inzaghi.
Manchester city and Inter Milan both have 2 trophies in their hands for this season. Inter Milan has 1 trophy in the Coppa Italia and 1 trophy in the Supercoppa Italiana. And Man City has also been confirmed to have 2 trophies, namely 1 trophy in the FA Cup and 1 trophy in the Premier League. Now, between Inter Milan and Man City, they will fight for one more trophy, namely in the Champions League. And of course, for the achievements that Inter Milan has achieved this season, Simone Inzaghi will definitely last longer as coach of Inter Milan.
Even though Manchester City's chances are indeed bigger than their opponents in the FA Cup final, they still can't be said to be champions, because they haven't even played yet. Caddy I do not agree with this.

Manchester United has won the game against Chelsea by 4 goals to 1. They’ve bagged a top four spot and qualified for the Champions League next season. It was an entertaining game at Old Trafford as United played good football and won comfortably by scoring four goals. Till the blast of the final whistle, Manchester United was not relenting and was still actively trying to score more goals.
It definitely wasn’t a good game for Lampard and his boys as they have yet again lost another game. At this point, it’s almost sad for Chelsea as they’ve got amazing players on its squad but can’t seem to win games.

Chelsea just keeps disappointing their supporters and fans; they don't appear to be able to recover from their worst times until their final game of the season; hopefully, by next season, some beneficial changes will have been made to the team to make them better. They've signed a variety of players with nothing to show for it. Nobody can identify whether the problem is caused by the Coach or the players. This should be one of Chelsea FC's worst seasons in history. We anticipate a revitalized Chelsea by next season.
It's not something new for Chelsea like this because regardless of what you can see they still have a lot of gaps in their defense.
Manchester United in this match just seemed to be waiting for Chelsea's players to make their mistakes to create opportunities.
The chaos for the first goal was indeed unavoidable but for the second goal they didn't mark and their offside trap failed but my focus was only on Casemiro's pass which in my opinion was very classy before it was sent to Sancho and continued with an assist.
For goals 3 and 4 it was panic from Chelsea which got them punished from a Bruno Penalty and an easy goal for Rashford.
Even though in the end Felix again became a differentiator with 1 goal, but it was only consolation with Manchester United's absolute victory in this match.

But on the other hand we also need to pay attention that we will not get a proper education if there is no money in it because it is clear that currently our orientation towards money is still very large.
How do you determine whether someone has a proper financial education or not?
Getting proper financial education, shouldn't always require 1 million dollars. But surely to get financial education, we need money. Everyone who wants to have proper education must plan to have funds allocated to it. Unless our government wants to give education for free, we have no choice that we must try to have savings for education.

I'm not saying that it has to be 1 million dollars in this case but of course we realize that when we want a proper education then we need money to determine that.
Not meaning to say people who don't have money don't have the right to education, but what I emphasize in this case is good education for now based on big finances and that is a fact that cannot be denied.
Nothing is free in getting something especially when talking about education. I don't know about education in other countries, but for now in my country, if I really want to do good education (good education), I have to do it quite expensively as payment for that education.
The treatment when we study for free and with money is clearly very different and I feel that way so it is undeniable that everyone returns to the orientation where there is money there everything will go well including in education.

One thing is on my mind right now, whether Mainz will try to play a total defense to prevent Borussia Dortmund from breaking Bayern Munich's dominance, or they will play open and competitive. The opportunity for Borussia Dortmund is now before their eyes, and they need one more step to get it. Going all-out will definitely be done by Borussia Dortmund, because this is like a final match with a different opponent.
This last match was also very decisive for the Bundesliga, who will be the winner and holder of the Bundesliga trophy this season. On the one hand, Bayern's chance is to win and get full 3 points. If they lose or are drawn against this Coin, then their chance is completely lost. On the other hand, Dortmund, as Bayern's toughest rival at this time, will face Mainz. If they win, they will definitely become the holders of the Bundesliga title this season. However, if they draw against Mainz, and Bayern win, it will be different again because of different goal differences. It will be very interesting. What a decisive final match.
However with the current conditions they will surely go all out and try for the 3 points no matter what.
Bayern will not be able to waste their chance to get 3 points again even though in this case they can only hope with Dortmund that they can get back to that position but it would also be very stupid if Bayern gave up and didn't try to get 3 points in this match.
On the other hand, Dortmund are in high spirits too right now especially Mainz is currently in a bad condition and in any case Dortmund is clearly superior now.
Only a few days left now the determination will be seen.

Regarding the game between Dortmund and Mainz, I saw the odds for Mainz as worth taking the risk. We have a 15.25 rate for winning Mainz in this game which is really tempting for me, Dortmund lost many points this season and if they lose this game it's not surprising even if they need the full three points to win the league.

I feel it's worth taking the bite as Mainz always play the role of spoiler for someone who is comfortably performing or need a crucial win. I have lot of parlay bets messed up by them. If you check Mainz performances, they have beaten Bayern and Lepizig recently, so I personally wouldn't want to go against them for low odds.

For Dortmund it will be a title after a decade so they will push hard but I am sure it wouldn't be easy going against Mainz. Well not as easy as bookmakers are favouring Dortmund here ahead of the fixture.
One thing is on my mind right now, whether Mainz will try to play a total defense to prevent Borussia Dortmund from breaking Bayern Munich's dominance, or they will play open and competitive. The opportunity for Borussia Dortmund is now before their eyes, and they need one more step to get it. Going all-out will definitely be done by Borussia Dortmund, because this is like a final match with a different opponent.
I was really looking forward to this game, and to be honest I wanted them to win this game to allow them to make something really extraordinary in the Bundesliga after a decade of being ruled by Bayern Munich.

An interesting match in the Italian Cup final, where Fiorentina will play against Inter. Both teams play attacking football, but also both teams have very important matches in the European Championships. The last game between the clubs was won by Fiorentina, and always put up a fight for Inter. Probably going to be a spectacle tonight too.
I am more certain that today Inter Milan will win the Coppa Italia in the final so that Inter Milan can collect two small trophies this season because previously Inter Milan had also won the Super Cup against AC Milan and today Inter Milan will also try to beat Fiorentina in the final for the Coppa Italia trophy. Because after today Inter Milan will also return to Serie A for the next two matches before the UCL final, so it seems Inter Milan needs to focus better because there are still a number of matches that they will play at the end of this season.
Broadly speaking, it is clear that we will know who will have the upper hand in this final match. The team that is in the middle of the standings and the team that is the finalist in the Champions League. I hope Inter Milan don't use the Champions League as an excuse for not doing well in this final. They had to focus on the closest match that was in front of them. Inter Milan's situation is actually the same as Manchester City who still have another final match besides the Champions League, namely the FA Cup.
1017  Economy / Economics / Re: Are you ready to spend crypto when market is down on: May 24, 2023, 04:42:47 PM

I am not speaking about just Bitcoin. I am speaking about every cryptocurrency / token.  Regardless of crypto price fluctuations, many online and offline stores are ready to accept crypto as payment. So How will willing are you to spend crypto for your purchases?

If one doesn't spend their crypto for purchases and wait for to spend their crypto when its price is nice, are they really considering it as a cryptocurrency or can we assume like those people are treating more like a security or investment instrument?
When the market get down that means most of the investors will loss by their investment. I think if one is not overwhelmed with big financial problems, then no one will want to sell if the market is down. However, if someone is purchased by crypto currency and is profitable, if he thinks it is good for him to take the profit in this case I think it should be sold. However, there are big differences between investing in other altcoins and Bitcoin. If anyone holds a bitcoin, it is best not to sell it because the price will rise at any time. Which may not be the same with others.
Spending crypto when the market is down is not a wise choice at all, especially if what we hold is bitcoin. Except as what you said, when we have financial difficulties that require us to spend the assets we hold, it's a different story. But when things are fine, we have to keep holding on and hold on until the market goes up again. I actually think the opposite, if the market goes down it is an opportunity for us to hold more, or in other words we make purchases.

First I want to compare Pep Guardiola with Inzaghi, we know Guardiola won the champions league for two times while Inzaghi could never do that. The experience of Guardiola can help him with this match in the final of the champions league.

Also, the odds for Inter Milan are 7.90 and Manchester City 1.46 which can show us people mostly think Manchester City can easily beat Inter Milan in the Final match and I think the same way. However, taking the risk of betting on Inter Milan for this match can give good rewards.


Comparing the two coaches for sure I personally would choose Pep Guardiola as the coach who will win the Champions League again, and I think most people will also have the same thought at this time.
The bookmakers and many people prefer Manchester City as the favorite and that is only natural when we see the performance of the two teams that will meet. I don't mean to belittle Inter Milan at all, but I consider the final meeting of these two teams to be said to be unbalanced now. And I think there will also be the same as I think this match is not quite even.

Girona failed to replace Bilbao in the standings after only drawing against Celta Vigo on the road. Unfavorable results from Girona considering that they are one step away from being able to occupy the conference league zone which is currently held by Bilbao. Actually, Girona's match against Celta Vigo was quite exciting, it can be seen that the two teams were quite even and exchanged attacks. It seems that Girona was also lucky enough to get the only goal through the white point which was scored by Stuani in the 59th minute, otherwise they would not get a single additional point to go home.
Girona can only hope that Atletico Bilbao will also get the same result as them this week or even worse. Atletico Bilbao will face Osasuna this week, and it will be a game that will not be easy for them. Even though in the last 5 matches Osasuna has suffered more defeats, that is not a guarantee that they will feel the same thing again this week. Moreover, they will also act as hosts.


We already have 3 clubs that will definitely be in the Champions League, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Real Madrid, while Real Sociedad are still not safe because they can still be overtaken by Villarreal which, even though it will be very difficult to do. What is clear is that Real Sociedad have confirmed themselves to be in European competition next season, be it the Champions League or the Europa League. Villarreal is the same as Real Sociedad, only the remaining matches will determine where they end up.
Real Betis are also not completely safe at the moment, because Atletico Bilbao will still overshadow them just below them.

Oh man, we've all been there, right? When you're strapped for cash, it's tempting to keep borrowing money just to get by. But here's the harsh truth: the more you borrow, the deeper you sink into debt. It's like a never-ending cycle.

The sad reality is that many of us are living beyond our means. We're spending more than we earn, and it's only getting worse. Just look at credit card debt—it's skyrocketing like crazy, and it's at an all-time high.

So yeah, borrowing money might seem like a quick fix, but it's not the solution. It's time to break free from this cycle and find better ways to manage our finances. Trust me, getting out of debt is way better than digging ourselves deeper.
So true. But getting out of that cycle is not easy. Because some people really want to get out of the loan cycle but their unstable economic conditions make it difficult for them to leave the habit. because they do it under conditions of compulsion. Because the core problem of the increasing number of people entangled in the loan cycle is due to the increasingly difficult economic situation. High inflation which is not accompanied by an increase in income also triggers people to find it difficult to manage their finances. because the money generated is not worth the increase that soared so rapidly. so more money is being spent than is being made.

But everything will indeed return to how our habits control our lifestyle. if we are used to saving, then even the current economic situation will not make it difficult for us. It's just that nowadays more and more people are prioritizing a luxurious lifestyle rather than a simple life. And another trigger is that currently there are more and more loan applications that make it easy for people to make loans. so people start to get addicted.
The problem may be from the mindset in this.
Indeed, we also cannot rule it out and in fact this is still a problem that is experienced by almost some people who are in the lower middle class of the economy. I'm not going to blame that and indeed if it's really just borrowing the last thing that can be done to support life then I don't think it's a problem. It's just the thought that it's still a solution and it's being done over and over again that makes this a little tricky.
We seem to be suggested to continue borrowing on the grounds that the previous loan was also successful in repayment and this kind of thinking is what worries us.
