Personal finance problems from another forum

To bad that this is the type of thinking that is inflicting our country and it is just getting worse. Too many want everything but want it provided to them for free. I would rather be poor and be paying my own way than living high and owing everyone for it.

That being said, who wants a MIL that paid for your wedding ring????

We probably could find hundreds wasted in her budget, but it sounds as if we did the poster is of the mindset that we'd be "getting into her business" and she doesn't need that. She just needs approval of whatever it is she's doing regardless of whether it's right or not.

It's the old "tell me what I want to hear" syndrome.

My guess is we could find thousands to cut from her budget.

People get used to their extravagant lifestyle and can't even imagine losing one thing from it. It's a shame.. really is.

You nailed it! Very sad indeed that so many have this view.
