" I see budgets of $6, $7, $8+ a month and wonder what they are thinking..."

Well, the truth is MOST Americans have no idea what a budget is, or where there money goes, or how money works.

I asked a friend who was losing his job what his monthly financial needs were and he told me about 10k per month.

I knew the cars he drove, the house he lived in, etc. and that made NO sense whatsoever. (?)

Upon further questioning his reasoning was this:

" I make about 120k a year, so yeah, about Ten Thousand a month is what I need to live on ! "


Absolutely clueless as to actual requirements and / or how money, taxes, budgets etc. actually work.

This is an intelligent man...otherwise.

It's frightening.
