[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a long way of saying that he's bad with money.

Is that a good quality in a Supreme Court Justice?  Or a bad one?  It makes him relatable, that's true.  More importantly, does it make him relate to the common man?  [/quote]

I can relate to the Kavanaugh financial situation.  We are 2 fed employees (attorneys) who somehow chose to live in Chevy Chase, where the houses are old, but yet expensive (both to buy and maintain).  DH and I both had a nice standard of living growing up, and so we seem to live a bit beyond our two-fed means.  We have carried credit card debt for a while.  We admit that it's idiotic, but we still do it.

We get annual gift money from our parents at an amount just below the gift limit.  We figure we might get a little inheritance in the future.  We both work full-time at our  jobs and get good reviews at work.  In a worst case scenario, our parents could bail us out in a financial pinch.  (We haven't needed to ask for that.)  So we probably live a little too close to the edge financially, just because we know that there's a safety net there in the form of our parents.

We're honest people, and there's nothing criminal or unethical about having credit card debt.  Yes, it's idiotic to pay those high interest rates, but it is not criminal or unethical.[/quote]

We're similar.  We're bad at money, but we have secure fed jobs and parents who help out a bit.  We admit it.  Kavanaugh does not admit it.  [/quote]

Goodness. How many of you are still being bailed out by your parents? Stop now:) [/quote]
