Soooooooo many people, soooooooo much debt

Headline news yet again the amount of people in debt and by how much. Topped off with an interest rate hike is just the icing on the cake :mad:

Thanks to this board and you I've been sticking to my budget and am able to pay an increase in mortgage rate but I feel for those who have yet to have their LBM or find this site...

    Meh, you shouldn't watch the news. In fact, don't even watch TV, read newspapers or visit news websites. Do something more productive with your time instead, and don't be unnaturally depressed whilst doing it! :)
