I didn’t quite read it the way you did (as a pile of trash). It seemed to give grudging respect (at least) to those of us who never bought into the whole credit card mentality. We lived our adult lives the way our middle class parents taught us to: live within your means, save up for what you want, stay out of debt if you can.
Mom & Dad were right. :)
I read it the same way that you did.
My house has a big flat screen, and some lovely granite counter tops...but...BOTH were PAID OFF IN FULL before they entered my house. We went without eating out for a long time in order to save up for the TV, the counters were Christmas, Valentines and my birthday last year. :)
Thanks Mom and Dad! You raised me well.
*now the question is...will they see this if I don’t ping them LOL*
We agree on the credit way of life... I owe no one. I saw this coming years ago.
