Not oblivious, we just don't care.
But I agree with the author on one point: We need to save more money. Marketers and bankers try to make me ashamed about my lack of outstanding debt, but I like the way I do things. I have a peace of mind that comes from owning all I have - lock, stock, and barrel. If I can't afford it, I don't buy it.
I am a free man, not a serf indentured to some damned bank.
Thrift used to be considered a virtue. Now it is scoffed and shunned as provincial and non-productive.
But look where trillions of dollars of debt have gotten us - our currency and economy are beholden to the whims of foreign investors, instead of belonging to Americans as it should be.
To tell you the truth, I wish I were in your position. I'd be nice. But until that time.....I owe, I owe, it's off to work I go....(Whistling)
