Tip,
"We need a little more money, or we just need to manage what we have a little better," Ashley said. >>> NO DUH!
So let me get this straight... they have an income of 25k.
19,500 goes out each year for student loans, car loans, credit cards and rent.
Plus:
I estimate another 7,500 goes out for electricity, cable, food and gas. That's 27k going out.
So they make 25k, spend 27k... and that doesn't include clothes, makeup, toiletries, haircuts, gifts for friends/relatives on birthdays/holidays, groundhog day parties (thank goodness that only comes around once a year), dry cleaning, prescriptions and doctor's visits, pet costs (chances are that if they don't have kids they probably have a pet that eats), and so on.
Are these the people who are going to lead us out of the economic doldrums???
I think they should buy tech stocks *wink* |
