Mother of 5 on a Mission: I want to save the teetering economy from the gluttonous mortgage companies, credit-card companies, loan officers, auto financers, Tax refund lenders, and the “not for profit” get-out-of-debt industry. People need to live within their means a take responsibility for their debt, but there is a seductive heavily funded industry out there taking advantage of the poor and middle-class’s American Dream. It use to be only the poor that got taken advantage of, and humanity didn’t care, but now there’s the new poor middle-class. They are heavily in debt, and using the equity in their houses to take vacations, finance cars...banks never use to allow such things now they promote it. I know there will always be fringe economy, but we are the ones who sign on the line and make the gluttonous mortgage companies, credit-card companies, loan officers, auto financers, Tax refund lenders, and the “not for profit” get-out-of-debt industry richer and richer while we get poorer and poorer—hey but that new 54” HDTV was worth it right?
