It happens because too many idiots take university schooling as a means of delaying taking on adult responsibilities. So instead of working and paying their way, they treat loans as a means to a continued free ride and the university like an extension of home, like the dream home they always wanted to grow up (haha) in.

I will have my credit cards paid off sometime by February then hopefully I will not be stupid and run up the bill.

It is those credit card payments that tie you down.

If you have your banking and CC on the computer make it a game to keep the balance at Zero. It’s hard at first then becomes more important than buying stuff as it becomes a habit.

I don’t use government or corporations as a baseline for my moral code. They’ve proven themselves woefully lacking. But I guess that’s your point.

I was speaking of people who consciously run up their debt, file for bankruptcy to get out of it, and do it again. These people are the types of people who have no qualms about leaving their debt to others. Just like Obama and the Dems and some RINO’s. I bet if you did some research, you would find a greater % of people on the dole that support Obama rather than Ted Cruz.
