18:24 -- You really think someone making $11,000 a year has a nice, comfortable net worth? Yes, you're drowning in debt. So are many making $250K+ who choose to spend more than they make and/or assume they can never lose their jobs.

Please. Do not try to put your situation side by side with people living below the poverty line. Just don't. Show a little compassion and admit that you wouldn't last 30 minutes on $11K a year.[/quote]

You mean, like when I was on my own at 13 and living on 10 dollars a week, sleeping on couches and eating meals at work (restaurants) because free meals came with the job? Or, how about when I put myself through both high school and college on less that 7,000 a year? Oh yeah, I did that and still managed to send money to my mom, who was living in her car.

I've been middle class since college and it's definitely a step up, but there is no safety net here and the mistakes cost you a lot more. Trust me, when I made 7,000 a year I did not owe anybody more than I could hope to make in 20 years, like now. And I still support myself and my mom, plus DH's parents and occasionally a sibling or two.

Clearly you people don't know many immigrant families. The class stereotyping on this board is insane. And don't be running out there giving yourslef any awards for compassion, pp. You get an epic fail in that department.[/quote]
