I am obviously refereeing to cars, houses and what goes in ‘em, marriage arrangements, travel ,etc ……&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But that is only the&lt;strong&gt; “common OPINION”,&lt;/strong&gt; as in the “Opinion of the majority”, as others may argue that we can do without loans ! or we can scale down on our expenses, and save some of the money to better balance our finances.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Opinions, opinions, opinions !! all respected equally .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The important thing to know is : whichever way you look at it , if you take out our pre-requisite need for the money, and compare the loans’ arrangements and interests throughout the Gulf region- at least - you will find that local banks are basically ripping us off ?!!
