I hope they both had really good jobs and no plans for kids or a debt-free retirement... and sadly, yes, Anon., the enabling of credit-challenged Americans is enough to turn the stomach. I hate listening to mainstream adult hits radio b/c of the 50,000 commercials for different companies you can call who will help you not just consolidate debt, but also work with all the people you owe to help you get out of the total bill.

It boggles the mind. I am proud of having purchased my first house at age 26 -- it cost $38,000. (And no, it wasn't in 1940 but 50 years after that.) And yes, I struggled to make the $400-something mortgage payment!chris h.http://www.writingbyear.comnoreply@blogger.com
