Yeah, because big business is forcing you, with a gun to your head, to go out with those credit cards.
Come on man, it\'s not that hard to sit down and plot your expenses. You figure out what are needs and budget for them, and what are wants and cut them. (Or keep them in depending on your paycheck.)
If you go over what you make, this is a bad thing.
The real problem is that a lot of people have trouble differentiating between a \"Need\" and a \"Want\".
You can blame that on Big Business, but I blame it on a lack of common sense, and a sense of entitlement.
Notice, I underlined part of your quote.
Why do you choose to live in an area that is extremely hard for you to get ahead?
Who is forcing you to do this?
Move, dude.
I never said it was easy. I never said you wouldn\'t have to make sacrifices.
No one is entitled to this stuff, you have to work hard and make many sacrifices, but it can be done, I\'ve done it, I know many who have. It\'s all a matter of choice and discipline.
Hence, why money is important, and why it can buy freedom, you just have to choose to spend it that way.
