Where’s My Bailout?
I’m in debt. Not massive. 6 figures or so, including my mortgage, which I think is fairly average. But I still worry about bill payments, which seem to be mounting. I still worry about unexpected expenses that always come up and how they will be handled.
So, where is my bailout?
I’ll admit I proabably haven’t been as fiscally prudent as I should have been in years past, but I don’t think I was reckless.
I don’t really understand how multi-million dollar companies can piss away so much money, make poor decisions and then have the nerve to ask for handouts. And then get them!
What really burns me is when you turn around and see the execs still cashing their million dollar cheques, receiving large bonuses and laughing all the way to the bank - one of the banks that didn’t go under, I guess. If you or I ran a business into the ground, we’d be lucky not to be living in a box somewhere.
I say lets make our own bailouts…like they should be. there are tonnes of ways to be making money, and the average person in their 30’s is in debt…..
