Why do we even bother?
I get madder and madder each time I see the news. Bailouts here and bailouts there. "Let's make sure people don't get foreclosed on." "Let's make it easier for people to keep assets when they file for bankruptcy." (Seriously - they file for bankruptcy and then get to keep assets? Unreal.....) Blah blah blah.
My husband and I do not have credit cards. None. Haven't had any in years. Our only debt is our house and one car. Those should be paid off in less than a year. Each month we are seeing the totals dwindle.
We are trying to teach our kids about debt and financial responsibility. Taking steps now so that in 6 years we can write a check for college instead of having them (or us) saddled with loans.
Why do we even bother??? Our government wants to throw good money after bad and make sure no one gets hurt from the poor financial decisions they make. Hello??? That's my money, too, that you are spending! Aaaaaaargh!! 700 billion dollars???
You remember when you were a kid and the whole class got punished for what a few kids did? That's what I feel like right now. But angrier.
I feel a little better now. Not much. Thanks for letting me vent.
