Thatcher herself was not an enthusiast for credit, once famously saying, “I don’t believe in credit cards.” Indeed, she espoused a rigorous philosophy about borrowing: “The secret of happiness is to live within your income and pay your bills on time.”
撒切尔本人并非信用的拥趸，她有句名言：“我不相信信用卡。”事实上，她支持严格的借贷观：“幸福的秘密在于量入为出，及时付清账单。”
