I was watching Suzie Orman on Saturday and they played an episode that had a woman who was TOTALLY maxed out- credit cards, mortgages, etc. She was 'only' bringing in $10k/month and had $19k in expenses. Suzie said she had to give up her expensive multi-million $$ house and other trappings.The guest flat out REFUSED! She said she had to keep up with 'apperances'. And she could not LIVE without those items that we ultimately going to cost her EVERYTHIGN!

His response was what I expected: if you can't make the monthly payments it's too much. However, the person then asked if they made the minimum monthly payments was that okay?<BR/><BR/>I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!<BR/><BR/>People don't seem to realize how much interest they accrue or at what pecentage they are accruing, and that all they are doing by making the minimum monthly payment is getting further in debt.<BR/><BR/>It just makes me shudder to think about where our economy is and the uneducated people getting pulled into debt traps to keep companies alive.<BR/><BR/>It just shows we really need this type of financial eduation and knowledge.

The holidays are a tough time to be frugal, but if you can make it thru December, the rest of the year is a cinch. <BR/>Speaking of that - let's forgo the traditional presents this year and spend an afternoon together (lunch too!) - maybe at Thai 9?<BR/>-VLook Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14725805671973904382noreply@blogger.com
