338, i agree that banks and CC companies have their role in all of this mess no doubt about it. They took advantage of a great economy and record spending by consumers. I'm still in the camp though that at the end of the day, it comes down to a person signing on that dotted line or swiping that CC. Tough, but it really is the truth.
 
I hope you keep yourself above water, you're a damn good contributer here. I hold out hope that in a few years we'll start to come out of this rut economically but it's not looking good.

Opto out?!?!?  The teaser rates are whats keeping me alive right now!!!!
 
Course I'm paying several times the minimum amount on mine.  Statements now show play-off times.  I've set myself to be debt free in 2-3 years instead of 18+!!!!!!
 
Gas is killing me though, It's about the only thing I charge except for emergency needs. 
When gas costs >$250 a month for commuting and food is inflating at double digit rates....Loco

Absolutely true!  Unfortunately it only takes one lapse and your hooked.  Once hooked it takes even more dilligence and effort to crawl out from under.  Its hard to see progress at a crawl which is disheartening and depressing.  Way too many (mostly Women) spend their way out of depression...and the cycle continues.
 
I'm in the same boat as Slap... need a new roof.  Need tires before winter sets in.  Thanks God the vehicle is pretty new although it just came out of warranty...
 
These are all pretty typical whoas but coupled with the economy and housing colapse and the nitwit in the oral office...how does one NOT get depressed? Whacko

Yeah, shread or burn depending on season, but I still screen the offers for the teaser rates.  Paying a lump sum 3% to transfer balance beats 9.99 to 15.99% monthly fo shore!  I've ben successful in getting 15 to 24 months teasers at or below 4.99%

The real sad part is many of the mortgage lenders were pushed and pushed by our wonderful government to make all these mortgage loans to people who realistically could not afford them.  Really many of them were forced to give loans to certain classes and geographical areas or they would be shut down by our government.

They tried to tell the government that they were being force to create a bubble that would pop, but of course our "leaders" knew better than the professionals who work those fields.

Then when it popped of course the banks were to blame.  Then many of the banks were now forced to take government bailouts even though they did not want them and did not need them.  So they had to take billions of dollars and lend it out, then turn around and pay back our government with interest.  So our government now made a whole bunch of money off of the banks who in turn were forced to take advantage of the people. 

Lifetime warranty and excellent customer service don't mean a thing when your gun fails during a zombie attack.

Been off line for a few days, Gents. 

Dogger got the gist of what I'm saying. In NO way am I kicking a guy who's behind or down, or anything like that. No all know me better than that....Right, guys? Guys?? 

Seriously, my main contention with this whole deal is evidently, the protester's either want the "banksters" or millionaires and billionaires to GIVE them what they have, or get the Gov. to take from those who have and give it to those that don't have, through force or legislation and these two words are synonymous.  
Right? No? 

If it's that the banksters want to surrender some of their filthy, ill gotten lucre to the mob, then that's fine with me. 
Have at it. 
If the latter, then the gov that's big enough do that, is big enough to take anything else they may deem...unfair...unsafe.....unpatriotic......etc.....etc.....

Appreciate the comments and Godspeed, Slap! Hang in there!      
If at first you don't secede...try..try again.

AHHH, I thought that was some part of his red pants.  I see it now.  Somebody should wrap him in it along with his excrements and ship him to over to a lovely desert oasis (i'll leave the option open to which one).
