Why are they not average because they are not in debt like crazy aside from a reasonable mortgage (former owner gave them sweet deal). You are somewhat right they very well could be much worse off but does that really matter. Here is a family that is barely treading water, dual income, neither at minimum wage and both actually on the higher wage spectrum for our area.
Gawd people confuse me. Ok so they do not carry the average amount of credit card debt as a national average, whew they are no longer average. Guess that means they are doing ok and are what others who are living within their means show be striving for. Yet wait they are 200 bucks a month away from living beyond their means and they do not have excess crap in their lives. Hell they are now using my old tv that I gave them when I upgraded. Ok it was a trade as he welded some stuff for us.
So when we have someone doing it the right way and are still nearly fucked what does that really say to the others doing it the wrong way?
