Once bitten twice shy maybe, as one of the main causes of the financial crisis were mortgages made to individuals whose income meant there was a real risk of the person or persons to whom they gave a mortgage, not being able to meet their commitments.

However another major factor was there were also a large amount of unsecured funding made available by bank loans and credit cards to people in a similar position.

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"
