I was letting out my frustration, some of it at my son-in-law. He is upset that he might either lose the house and/or have to lose his fancy gas guzzling car with all the bells and whistles. He (and my daughter) had plenty of money that he inherited. They could have put it in the bank and had a nest egg for old age. Instead they lived it up and spent it all. Now they expect "The government" to bail them out.
PHEW!! I feel better now that I got that out.
So I know there are hard working people out there that would like nothing better then to be able to pay their bills.
I hate to say it again, but I feel a lot of those under 40 people(not all) just don't have the same sense of waiting until you can afford something and living within your means.
Maybe I am just getting old or it could be of my neighbors those over 45 are either retired or layed off. Everyone under 45 somehow still has a job.

This is just a very hard time for many of us. What doesn't kill us will hopefully make us stronger.
People that can not manage there money will learn so on there own what will happen next. They will not have anything left.
I think education is key to helping people live better lives. Everyone should have finance classes, along with business classes so people can understand how things run and they can make better decisions.
