I agree the banks were like naughty children in a playground running free.
But they turned from being responsible institutions that gave solid advice about a customers financial postition into actively promoting loans, mortgages etc packaged as a lifestyle choice. The good, the gullible, and the greedy lapped up these products to finance flashy cars, homes they couldnt really afford, and cosmetic surgery. Oh yes boob jobs and tummy tucks were performed on credit.
When customers experienced real financial difficulties in paying back these loans the banks turned their backs and sold the debt on.
I know, I worked in a bank for many years.
