I don't doubt that story is true
, one of the few the media puts out. When I was just out of school I would have fallen into that group and struggled for many years when my kids were younger. We financed everything, car, furniture, TV, you name it. Finally it hit me that all we were doing was making the banks richer. Saving started with the 1st quarter and that's what I did. I started putting back the quarters that I had in my pocket each day. After a year I had over $300. From then on we only financed the big things and made good down payments on them. I've never made much money and most of the time was below the poverty level but we put 2 kids through college, have our house and all our personal possessions paid for and a minimal amount of farm debt. We don't have all the latest electronic gadgets and live very much like we did in the 80's.
I see young people now that start out thinking they need a new home, car, fancy furnishings, all the latest electronics and tattoos. They dig themselves a hole that they can never fill. They become slaves to their possessions and can't understand why they are so unhappy. I started out on that path but I was lucky that someone helped to turn me around.
