Advice for young couples — try to live “below your means” and not in a MacMansion. And have more kids. “Make do!” Hand-me-down clothes build strength of character. America will be stronger and better if our young people are more like this.

What are you, some kind of HERETIC? If they don’t buy the McMansion, idiot, then they won’t be able to write off the taxes and mortgage on it, and thus they will be poorer!!!

(just making a point about how tax policy makes dumb people do stupid things)

I probably don’t like you, but that is advice for the ages.

Don’t “try”.

Just do it. It can and should be done.

Buy the 9 yr old F-150 regular cab with 84,000 miles ($11,500) instead of the brand new extra cab with the eco-boost engine that you want ($60,000).

That’s what all men and families strived for, for millennia.

The one’s who succeeded often became millionaires. If not, rarely were want for anything.
