Bev, everything you said makes perfect sense. but, without debt, you would not now be living at earthnsky. Without debt, a young man who desires to be a carpenter or maybe a mechanic can't buy tools. I am not saying that debt is "good".. I am saying that debt is part of our present economy, and to participate fully in that economy most people must have debt. Debt is money. It is not good that it is that way. It is just reaslity. Goldman Sachs, lehman Brothers, Jp Morgan AIG, All-State, and thousands and thousands more are , today, technically insolvent except for the new debt created and given to them by our politicians and central bankers. Living without debt wouls be like living without a cra. It can be done, but it is not the easy way to get around...............
p.s. One of my baby brothers just got his fith deer.

Anyway, when I am in debt, I feel like I am underwater...I can see the
surface above me, but can't get up there to get a breath. So, I live within that economy based on debt, and I long, more than
long, gasp for the freedom that being debt free allows.
