All I can say is that the next recession is going to hurt a lot of people, and this time we won't have the government slashing interest rates to bring things back up again.

My stepson definitely falls into the category of your last statement, as he has had two vehicles repo'd in the past 6 years, and frequently called to borrow my third vehicle when his broke down before I got rid of it to remove my headaches. He would return my car with trash in it and an empty tankSorry, kid, but at some point you gotta stand on your own two feet and figure it out!
Man I have to admit. I had to learn a little bit. Im 30 and I feel like im finally getting the hang of it. I make six figures but when you have debt, you are not well off at all! and the last relationship I had sucked me dry. Drained 40k out of my savings in a year because she was like your stepson. Needed this and that but never worked for it. I learned my lesson. I am much better off now and paying everything off. My Fiancee was smart and bought a house and pays $900 for her mortgage. I was paying $2100 a month for rent for a 2BR apartment. Also doesn't help Denver is expensive!
