Excellent idea. First, can you loan me $1000?
Instead of “Keeping up with the Jones’s,” American’s need to learn to live within their means.
When I was a young man right out of the Marine Corps, a credit card was near impossible to get. I applied for a few and was turned down by all.
Fast forward 30 years and my daughter just graduates from HS in 2005, and credit cards are practically being throw at her.
And they wonder why we have $18 Trillion dollars in household debt?........................
Do your part. We are. 🤔😵😊👍
“The Federal Reserve Bank of New York recently reported that household debt has reached a new all-time high at $18.04 TRILLION.”
I have $250k debt. I also have $700k equity over that debt.
I have done my part. Except for the bill for the hernia surgery I just had, I am debt free. No mortgage, no Credit Card debt.
👍😊

Shortly after I went into the Navy, my father signed a personal loan at the local bank so I could buy a car.
Something in the system triggered and they sent me a MasterCard.
It came in very handy, particularly with renting cars and hotel rooms.

Hell, I couldn’t even rent a car when I was in!
Was told I had to be a E-7 or better!........
You make a good point. Not all personal debt is bad.
till debt do us part
Some debt can be productive, if its properly used (i.e., acquiring assets that appreciate rather than consumer goods that quickly lose their value).
If only we had Brandon as pResident again- he could forgive all the debts, right? Doesn’t just have to be student loans?! /s
“Was told I had to be a E-7 or better!........”
I was an E-5 in 1970 stationed in Hawaii.
I rented a car in Berlin airport a few years back and the agent gave me a paper listing places I could not take the car.
All were former Eastern Bloc countries except Italy.
I asked her why Italy, and she said “They will steal it and strip it!”.................
