Watching a financial Train Wreck

[LuckyRobin]

I guess its really hard for me to understand how someone could be so financially backwards. If you don't have experience with something, why on earth would you think that you'd be successful enough to do it 8 times right away? Buying one as a "starter" would have been a lot smarter. Then he could have seen if he was any good at it, if it was something that he enjoyed doing, and if he really could turn a profit doing it.

Yes, the credit industry is quite responsible for some of the mess, but first and foremost its always, always caveat emptor (let the buyer beware) before carpe diem (seizing the day).
