That is ghetto fantasy (EMP/nuclear war/alien invasion will send us back to the 1800s and I won’t have to pay anything off), in real life when the emergency is over you want to have weathered it well and do not want the chaos of credit shot, things being repossessed, losing your home, etc., and if your employer went out of business you want to be in a position to keep up with things until you get back on an even keel.
We just went through one of America’s biggest emergencies and being debt free was good advice for it.
“That is ghetto fantasy”
That’s what I love about Freerepublic. You can make a semi-sarcastic humorous comment and in return get a despicable personal insult. You could have left off that part and still made your point, but, no, in current FR fashion, you just couldn’t do it. Gotta be badass sitting behind your keyboard.
