How can people afford cars?

Cars are easy. I don't know how people afford those big detached houses.

Even when I was in a full employment, I could get mortgage for a one bedroom flat only (including my wife's income I could maybe get a small ruined one bedroom house in the middle of the ghetto). There's 5 of us. Some houseowners of those big 4-5 bedroom properties around us in Wansted, Woodford and Chigwell are ordinary plumbers, electricians and cab drivers.

Those poor devils have ramped themselves up to the nines with mortgages/hp agreements just so they can keep up with the dick-dangling Joneses. ALL of these plumbers/electricians/cab drivers never actually see their big houses because they're busy working to pay for it all.
