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.

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.
