In insiders circles, banks are known as legal thieves.
At one point, my husband had to pay a deductible of over $24,000 because he ended up in intensive care. Did we get in debt? Yes, we did. I was not about to let him die.
Get off your high horse and stop judging others.

So did you pay it? Did you make arrangement to pay eighty dollars a month taking food off the table to do it until it was paid. I have Miss Esther and I have been in your shoes. My daughter was hit by a car and we did.
Or did you cry poor mouth and skate like another poster in this thread bragging how he paid pennies on the dollar for foolish debt and offering to show others how to do it?
Don't try to play high and mighty with me till you have
paid for your neighbors medicine out of your own pocket. I work in health care and I've done that several times on occasion through the years for my patients and coworkers.
We made an interest free loan to a man who needed a leg up of two thousand dollars three years ago. He paid me a thousand dollars back when I threatened him with
the felony of grand theft. Three years later he still owes me 1000 and is full of excuses. Fifty five dollars a month
would have seen it paid by now. I'd have been happy with ten dollars a month because it shows good faith.
I don't have too much sympathy for the sense of entitlement that I see on a daily basis among the very rich and the very poor. I love and have great respect for the working stiff who comes to me who has no insurance and no respect at all for the medicare recipient that I bring gatoraide for who then complains that they wanted orange and not green. Or the man driving the jag flipping his medicare card at me
Don't talk to me about high and mighty until you have been so poor that you have to save for months to buy a pair of shoes at the good will. My wife has been. Have you ever counted potatoes to make sure you had enough to last the week? My wife has.
Buy a sixty thousand dollar home instead of a four hundred thousand dollar home just because you can.
If your government has gone rogue on you and I agree with you that it has, honey, it's your own fault. You get the government you deserve. I suggest that you scrape together the money, perhaps join with your neighbors to buy a copy of Naomi Wolfs book
Give Me Liberty. Then get up off your duff and do something about it.
I'm impressed with action, not excuses. If someone has done you a favor, you are in debt. Don't pay it back, pay it forward. Do your part to make the world a better place. America's greatest generation is all but gone now.
They had ethics. They had morals, and they had honor.
Do you?
