[quote=Anonymous]I thought many would be interested in this Washington Post article that features of photo essay of living with debt in America. Very interesting. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2015/06/16/these-powerful-photos-of-people-living-with-debt-will-make-you-feel-not-alone/?tid=trending_strip_1 One take-away for me is how helpful it would be for every high school student to be able to take a class on personal finance. I was completely ignorant of personal finance myself and ran up a lot of credit card debt in my 20s and early 30s (approx $50K). Then I inherited about that amount, allowing me to wash away that consumer debt. That was a wake-up call to me, and while I was saved from severe consequences by a one-time stroke of luck, I won't let me get into debt again. Once I washed away my debt, I was so happy and content. I slept a lot better. It make me realize how stressful and demoralizing it is to be in debt. [/quote]
