Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 For the first time in the survey's nine-year history, more respondents found mortgages on principal residences the most difficult debt to pay down, with 32 per cent of respondents selecting this option compared to 23 per cent who cited credit card debt. So, if you don't rack up cc debt, and make an extra payment on mortgage during the year, that would eliminate almost all of the national average concern? Huh, maybe we should all be doing that?

Works for me... Yup. A main problem is that people aren't happy in their sweet spot, they always want more. Goal of life is to keep it even, between the mayonnaise and the mustard, rubber side down!

Either that or you are white. I would love to see the data he uses instead of just his graphs. I have a feeling they all might be spoon fed to him. I can bet that most here have had close to the same increase in wages. I wonder if he ever looks up how much taxes have or have not stagnated.

Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted January 8, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 8, 2019 This statistic says less about people being poor and more about people being irresponsible. 78% of the country isn't poor. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
