Maxed Out on Showtime

[kewp]

The understanding is that sometimes people have to work out the problem on their own instead of being bailed out, otherwise the problem will just repeat.

Exactly.

Part of the reason I accumulated so much debt is that I wasn’t saving for a rainy day in the first place. And put myself in a position to be taken advantage of by friends, girls or otherwise. I’ve permanently rectified both issues since then :).

I consider myself lucky that I’ve learned my life lessons early. When I read these stories about folks in their 40’s and 50’s and bankrupt, I just shake my head. I can’t even imagine having to start over that late in life.

What I have *no* sympathy for is the folks that have ruined themselves through over-consumption. McMansions, SUV’s, vacations, big TV’s, etc. I say bring back debtors prisons for these people.

“credit cards are how nearly everyone purchases everything from food to travel to TV’s.”

That’s because ‘nearly everyone’ is either financially illiterate or just plain stupid.

I haven’t carried a credit card balance in over 5 years. I pay cash for everything, including vacations, food (entertainment) and electronics (toys). That you and ‘nearly everyone’ else doesn’t shows that ya’ll have alot of learning to do.

Private companies would be prosecuted for deceptive marketing practices if they promised multi-million dollar payouts, but only paid only 50K per year per million won. Only recently has CA given lump sump payout option. So JSP winning a few million is typically only getting a 100-200K per year but thinks he is rich and speding like he has 6M in the bank. Pretty stupid, but then again most people (even here) think he had 6M in the bank.

That film was very political. The underlying theme is that overconsumption is an illness, not a choice; and creditors are criminals because they exploit the sick. I completely disagree with both notions.
