Something Has Got To Go
Man I just can't afford the Mcmansion in the Burbs, the SUV and MB in the driveway, Classic Porsche in the garage, the Big Screen TV, the Cleaning Lady, the Gardner, putting the Kids through a prestige 4 year College, let alone all the little sundries like going out to eat, and belonging to the gym and country club anymore..It is just too much ever since they cut my hours and salary back...let alone face unemployment as the company I work for is on the verge of gong BK.
I just can't keep using the Credit Card to get by as it is about maxed out.. What am I gona do? Hey I know, buy the FAANG's* on margin...that ought to make me rich! * Facebook (F), Amazon (AMZN), Netflix (NFLX), Alphabet (GOOG). Apple (AAPL)

Clearly you’re not fully embracing the American Dream, pooh on being debt free......

tabby I'm disappointed..
you always shop for the best deal.. so.. choosing a SO with more $$ or income than you... should have been the starting point.. Rika |

I can sense the sarcasm. Regardless, two books that had an effect on my life: The Millionaire Next Door, and The Credit Card Catastrophe.
The person the the original post (which I doubt is you)....well, that's how it goes! Live within your means and use credit to expand your means (not your life). |

The name of the LA Chargers must be changed as it denigrates those with credit card woes.
