I've been bombarded by these ads and e mails lately - they must really be hurtin' for warm bodies. I was in Hong Kong on a layover during the SARS outbreak and 80% of the population was wearing those mask.:eek: I was freaked out, so I called my sister who works at Ft Detrick, Md. She said while it's not a bad idea to wear a mask, the virus (SARS) was spread by physical contact. The most important thing to do is frequent hand washing with soap and water or use of an alcohol-based hand rub. |

Either you work for your money or your money works for you. I can only imagine how big our economy would be if the average American was taught basic financial education during school. |

Totally agree here with every word.
But for the first 10 years after high school graduation, I was one of those poor sots that didn't even have a credit score because I was so broke. It was southern California in the late seventies when real estate was going straight up. I had buddies willing to "hook me up" and get in on it even though I couldn't afford it. I didn't do it. Why? Because I couldn't afford it unless my income never went backwards. All my old buds went broke in the 80's when socal real estate went bust. The moral of this ever repeating story is simple. If you can't afford it, don't buy it. If you buy it anyway, it's your own damn fault. There will always be financial instruments available to give you the dreams you can't afford. If you fall for it, it's your fault. Carl I can forgive individual stupidity more than I can a deliberate, systematic fleecing of the population. Too bad there is not capital punishment for financial crimes although a few have had the good sense and moral compass to off themselves. There is plenty of blame to go around on this one. |
