These are the morons who vote Dem, and will always vote Dem.
“…treats debt seriously but has found herself buried under a mountain of micropayments””…”
No she doesn’t
You borrow money like this, you have a plan. Worst case scenarios included. Otherwise you can’t say you’re serious
Just terrible.
When I went back to college, I would get there so early and went from room to room tearing off the credit card applications they put out for the college students.
My first credit card only had a $300 limit at my choosing. I barely used it and was happier with much less in my life.
We are debt free except for our mortgage and are looking to get that down soon.
Less really IS more.
“She’s never missed a payment before and treats debt seriously …”
Uh no she doesn’t. Most emphatically she doesn’t.
Sounds like she would fit in well on either side of the aisle in Congress.
i will never understand the people who go balls to the wall in debt for christmas gifts.
All that to buy gifts that probably get shoved into a closet or drawer and never used.
Buy now default next week
“Holiday Loan Forgiveness” - how ‘bout it, Joe?
3 people are profiled, all are complete morons.
“I spent all my cash and maxed out all of my credit cards, so I had no choice” mindset to buy concert tickets, video game consoles, and designer fashions [sewn by child slave labor in the far east for $2, sold to you for $2,000].
Zero planning. Zero saving. These people even admit they KNEW they were spending what they did not have and would not pay, and did it anyway.
And these people vote.
I always paid cash. Makes life simpler.
My wife and I were married in the early 1980’s. At that time we made an agreement we would only use what cash we could afford to buy presents for each other and eventually our children. We never had a bad birthday or Christmas for any of us and we never had to worry about forthcoming bills in the mail.
In December of 1999 I paid off and closed our last credit card and we only had our mortgage outstanding. We’ve paid cash for everything since, including autos.
It has been relaxing knowing that everything we have is ours with no debt. Sure, we have done without some things but we don’t care.
Hey just buy stocks or havent you heard that the markets are booming lol.
