Continuing to spend more that we make is liable to destroy the economy a dam' sight sooner.

The generation that lived through the Depression as adults has not been around to provide counsel for the last 10-15 years, and we are not the better for it.

I lived in the depression and i’ve never paid interest on anyrhing but one home mortgage and it’s been paod off for 20 years.

If you haven’t got the money you don’t need it.

I’ve never in my life had less than 6 months earnings in reserve for emergancies and that’s the minimun.

We wouldn’t listen to the Depression era generation anyway. We were sooo much smarter and more educated than they were.
