As pointed out, the internet is an incredible advantage, but besides that I can’t think of much. But why do you think that would somehow stop me? I just started a new job, I don’t care about any kind of recession. I’m just going to keep plugging away. Oh and not tipping the pizza guy is...

Wow you’re really losing it again. The best thing you can think of is my generation thinks we’re so special? As Seth and Amy would say – Really? Cause nobody ever told me I was special. Now I look at that little girl that made it to the quarter finals last week at the US Open, now that’s...

Yea this bothers me a little bit. How come everybody else has to cut back but not the government or its employees? But then again why are we complaining about little government employees getting raises when huge corporations are laying people off by the thousands and shipping their jobs to India...

I don’t disdain baby boomers, I just think it’s quite ironic that they go around telling kids these days how lazy they are meanwhile they had cheap college, cheap housing, cheap medical care, less job competition, a booming stock market, all while managinng to rack up an 11 trillion dollar...

Like I said, a great idea would be to start a tv show where all people actually start from the same level. Then we’ll actually see who are really the successful ones. How in the world can you compare people who could pay for college by working in the Summer to those who’s in state colleges...

Typical repsonse I’d hear from a Republican/Fox News junkie nowadays. Very little in the way of solutions, just critisizm to those who are working hard and can’t seem to get ahead. Then you sit back and wonder why Democrats win elections. 30 years ago this college graduate would have a great...

Just a few thoughts I’ll chip in to what has already been said. 1)Of course the obvious one is the economy is in the crapper right now, so it’s understandable. Of course 90% of people are still employed (some of which are underemployed but whatever, they still have a job), so somebody is...

Why bother asking all the spoiled baby boomers around here that question? What do they care about how the job market is in another 5-10 years? They’ll die just as soon as they bankrupt Social Security and Medicare and leave us kids with their 50 trillion dollar credit card bill.

Sorry to dissapoint you but most dealers right now have plenty of room on their lots. The Chevy Equinox is pretty much all sold out now. The Camaro’s are being bought with no test drive for delivery in no less than 2 months. The Volt will probably be the biggest car of next year. Don’t...

I wouuld disagree with this. I just got a job at a dealership and have been training for the past 2 weeks. I think there are probably 50 clunkers parked there. I would say very few of them would be cars poor college kids drive. In fact the first sale that I trained on last week was a father...

I’ll ask you the same question, is that the best scenario you can think of? I know lots of broke people, none of whom have $200 jeans or $500 purses. Managing your money right assumes that Murphy never shows up. How is someone who makes $25000 a year supposed to save up a 50k emergency fund...

A bill is the same as a debt, it is owed to someone else. Dirkd said don’t ever use credit cards for useless crap we don’t need. He’s assuming that credit cards are only used to buy unnecessary things. So I’ll ask again. If I go to the hospital because I broke my arm and the doctor...

How many wrongs make a right? Well when someone has perfect credit history for 6 years straight and Chase triples their interest rate from 8-24% for no reason other than they can and after a few years of all of their payments just going to interest and they eventually just run out of money and...

Yea Bush runs up the debt by 5 trillion. Wall Street gets 800 billion. The Fed guarantees (through the printing press) billions more, but the 3 billion for Joe the Average Guy is going to bankrupt the economy and must be stopped. I think you need to call a cab to get home, you are cleary drunk...

OK first off, think about what you just said. The fractional reserve lending “scheme” works until one of the links is broken. That’s like saying the drug ring was working perfectly fine until the cop screwed it up. Well maybe that’s because they shouldn’t be doing it in the first...

There’s something not right about you. I have never heard of a baby boomer on ET talk like you. What’s your deal?

Gee what have you got against the US dollar? What it ever do to you?

Credit card agreements are not really complicated. However there is this underlying human decency and common sense that implies that if you have perfect payment and credit history for 4 years, they are not going to activate some fine print clause whereby they can triple your interest for no...

Why would I need to assault your intelligence? You have managed to do it to yourself by making up a stupid step by step plan that is blatantly not true. I’ve been on cars.gov yesterday and today and it has been working fine.

WTF decade are you in? Awhile ago I checked out one of these for profit technical schools and it was 16k for a 9 month program. And yes, job placement assistance is one of the big things they pitch to you.
