@Anne – Sometimes, I wish I had just borrowed to the hilt, traveled all over the world, and just declared bankruptcy so that people like you could pay for my sins.

But not very often. =)

Just not wired that way.

For years my husband complained [still does sometimes] that our house is too small and it was all my fault. Well, I let him choose the house I just chose the price range. Now he is grateful we own a house with a mortgage we can afford to still pay even with only one of us working. I agree we need to save more, spend less, and think about the future instead constant instant gratification. What’s more important – the latest technology that is outdated the instant you bought it or retiring at 65 [or there abouts]? Retirement is possible but only with sacrifice.

Good to see you back, Anna.

Definitely agree with reinvesting. Takes practice.

It’s astounding how Americans get themselves into such heavy debt and don’t think twice about it. Or at least, not three times.

It’s just another way of making a population (or government, or anyone) easier to control. Coax them into heavy debt.

I strongly agree with anyone and everyone getting and staying out of debt.

On the savings point, I would differ slightly. I would definitely agree on saving (cash, food, water, or whatever) for unforeseen events. However, I also think that if a person has the money to invest in expanding his business, he should do so. I am currently spending a large chunk on outsourcing, as I realized that otherwise I would never expand business to where it needs to be and to the income level it needs to achieve. I basically reinvest just about any extra (or not so extra) income that I have, for the development of better streams of income.

Still working on it. I have some debt to get rid of, but I’m making progress.

@Bob – My dad was raised during the depression, so I got an earful of it myself. Actually, that’s not quite true: I was raised with those values. He didn’t actually speak much of it.

You are right on everything except number 5. Short a total collapse on the order of the depression of the 20’s and 30’s, retirement savings will recover…the market ALWAYS recovers eventually, and that won’t change.

I’d like to reinforce your admonition to “throw the bums out” with a caveat…make sure it’s JUST the bums…like bailout supporters, for instance. There ARE good people in congress…albiet few and far between, but they are thwere. Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater no matter how much you scream, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not gonna take it anymore!”
