This has come up before: even basic financial courses in middle school and high school can at least equip our young adults with some knowledge they can apply to situations they will face. If someone chooses to disregard that knowledge and plow ahead charged with emotion, then they can deal with the consequences themselves.

From the same person, who says she is a freelance writer--

"my romantic heart likes to imagine most writers, at least the ones worth giving a damn about, as tortured, flawed beings with a weak spot for bad habits."

the angry office manager. ....Link supplied not as a recommendation, but only as evidence that she really claims to aspire to having bad habits.

I found that link becaue MSN Money listed the article or writer as being from credit.com, so I wondered if she were a staff writer there, and if so, whether she might in other publications show any credibility at all. Has the MSN Money article been edited to death so that the writer comes off so shallow?
