No, just follow Biblical advice and don’t borrow money at interet “it makes you a slave.”

Sorry, I feel bad for people with credit card debt, as I had some when I was an E-1 starting out in the Army.

I sucked it up, lived on base, sold my car, and gradually got out of debt. Paid for college with cash/GI benefits. I did buy a house with a 20/80 15 year mortgage -— and paid it off in 8.

People live above their means. I live below and have way north of a million dollars (almost two) in the bank/stocks/bonds -— and I don’t have some high income, either.

Which makes you "rich" and therefore first in line for the bill when the socialists in DC come to bail these grasshoppers out.

Too many people tend to spend the way our leaders spend...as if it was someone elses money. Then they cry, “I am a victim” demanding help. Yes, a victim of their own stupidity.
