I agree, I don't understand why many people equate having a lot of stuff with being well off (especially stuff that is really owned by the bank). Most of the stuff they have has very little real value (a car is a car is a car, it's value is getting you from point A to point B, not in the logo on its' body). Even houses are a waste, I'm in the market at the moment and all the homes in a resort area with a lot of retirees are all giant, why do I need a big house? Why do I want to heat and cool a lot of empty rooms? I don't need to impress anyone.

Gee, I must be the exception to the rule. I worked all of my life and saved on a regular basis. Today I am 63, retired, own a beautiful home with no mortgage, a new car for which I paid cash, have no outstanding credit card bills, and just returned from a 10 day vacation in Central America. While you are moaning about "Fascist corporate Capitalism," some of us are ensuring that we get all we can from working within the system. Grow up, get a job, and save your money! Good luck to you

Sounds to me like you didn't realize "Equal" meant equal opportunity instead of if I don't have, you are supposed to give me. If your picture isn't good, realize you have have made bad choices and have negative consequences as a result of that, and change things.
I paid off a 30 year mortgage in 5 years, saved a bunch of interest by doing that, had a job with an excellent retirement plan, actually retired early, started social security when I could and I'm not doing bad at all, thank you. I pay my credit card bills in full when they come in, have a totally free checking account that pays interest on the balance, and own my own business. If any aspect of the business doesn't make a profit, I make changes until it does.
Turn off the computer, and start on your own personal road to financial security.

My mortgage is less than half the value of my house (thanks GWB!) , I carry no credit card debt, I own my cars. My savings, including 401K, IRAs and other investments have been growing on a quarterly basis (thanks again GWB!) so I could pay off my outstanding debt, including mortgage, without touching much of the principle.
I have a stable job in a a stable industry. I have an excellent education in a career that is in demand.
There is no such thing however as Fascist corporate Capitalism. You should study more about the US. Maybe you can get a visa and visit or study here to see that your preconceived ideas about this nation are false.

uhmm you are talking about long term planning. thats not an american Ideal. When the checks stop paying the minimum due on the 21% interest rate credit card or when the OMG ARM mortgage goes up exactly like it said it would in the document I signed thats when we are financially insecure. Financial security is a paycheck.

even as the commercial equipment tanks, their will be fewer jobs, and the illegals will go away this united states of america. some states provide advantages to illegals, and the illegals will go away states that uphold our immigration guidelines for states that welcome unlawful extraterrestrial beings like, CA, TX, MD, ME, NM, IL. notwithstanding, even as adequate individuals are out of work, there'll be tremendous rigidity utilized to the pols to eliminate the illegals, and to maintain our borders. it is the silver lining to having a lengthy recession, as i'm awaiting to ensue. The illegals will be compelled to leave! you're smart to visual reveal unit that many of the MSM newshounds use the time period undocumented immigrant as a change of the most acceptable time period, unlawful alien. It shows their bias in favor of the illegals!

They say that the average American is just two paycheques away from homelessness. So I guess that it would take a loss of a family's income to see how quickly they turn into the homeless that are disparaged so frequently on this forum. Hey, maybe it would be a good exercise. Then we'll see how much people would support National Healthcare. Socialism be damned...I need help!

And your point is what, exactly?
Just because people are foolish with their debts doesn't make the capitialist system a bad one.
Tell you what - let's do an equal distribution of the wealth. I'll go home and watch TV all day, and you can work and send me a check.

Unless inflation someday makes the dollar totally worthless, I have nothing to worry about.
I have no debt, my only bills are gas, electric, phone and water.
Right now I am saving up so I can quit my job as a nuclear engineer and start my own business, a winery.
