Lets go back to the original metaphor used in this post. Imagine you go out to dinner every night for 8 years, but you always charge it, never pay cash, and never pay down your credit card balance. All of a sudden your credit card company says, “dude, pay up, or else.” Are you then going to sit there and whine and moan that you have to pay the bill that you’ve spent the last 8 years racking up? You’ve had “free” meals for the past 8 years on someone else’s dime, yet you complain when your wallet is on the line. I think it’s time to grow up and face the reality of the situation.[/quote]
Using your example, which is a very good example, I’d stop eating out and go on a rice & soy sauce diet, until I pay off all the debt. I would not keep on eating out and ask my boss to pay me more or ask for handouts from my parents. Do you see where I’m going w/ this?
