But that's the way companies want it to keep their sales an profits up.
Edit...it's the same where I am and my mother, i'm the only one that does anything, it's embarrassing and that's what gets my anxiety and stress going then anger. But she says there's maybe some looking and saying god I wish I could do that and save a few quid instead of going to a garage all the time. But I see it as....oh he cant afford decent stuff and always fixing things to hell with that.

I don't give a damn if others think I'm poor, at least they wont break into my house. If they are so rich, why do they live in the same road as me?
I was once listening to two dads waiting while their children played football. They were taking about cars and what they had and I had a smile thinking to myself, I can "afford" both of those for cash. Of course with my old car, I could not one up them
