Never – Never Nest is the title. It is absolutely justified because Jack and Jill, were living on a limited earning of just six pounds a month. The seed money given by Jane, as wedding gift was squandered by them in making advance payment for the house, fridge, piano etc. They continued to make EMI payments for all the items. The furniture, car and even the baby’s delivery fees was, running on EMI. There was nothing in the home they could call as completely their own.

Jack called himself the owner of the home but the EMI for the housing loan was going on and he had to continue it for many years. They are glad to be freed of the drudgery of paying rent. But they are entangled in paying EMI for the house, car, piano the bed, cot and the cozy furniture. It is very doubtful if ever the “nest” would be called a real nest. Would Jack and Jill ever become the real owners of the house and often gadgets at home is a pretty disturbing questions because Jack is borrowing every month to pay back his EMIs. Living beyond the means can never help a person to settle down in life. Such a person will have, insecurity every month.
