The No. 1 Problem with the Economy Right Now Is... SecondAct
6. Steve Rhode , debt coach based in Raleigh, N.C.
"I have some real concerns as we face another possible slowdown in the economy. The biggest financial fear people have to face right now is the fear itself. I know, very reminiscent of FDR, but I'm adamant about it. The almost invisible but massive hurdle people have to face right now isn't the mathematics of their financial situation, but seeing it for what it is before it's too late. It's the inherent denial that nearly everyone suffers through in bad times that leads them down alleys that leave consumers trapped in debt without good options on how to extricate themselves. Just today I was answering a reader's question who is an unemployed single mom with two teenagers, down to her last $5,000, without a job, and worried about finding a place to live in a month or two when all her money is gone. We can't trivialize how quickly dire these financial times can become, and the best step we can take is to reach out for help and not waste time in denial."
Third-World Debt: 6 Reasons To Drop It.
Third-World Debt is EVIL! This video is made by Crittenden County Middle School students of StudentActionNetwork.org. The info from the video was ...
If IMF & World bank gave debt relief for the "third world" why not the credit card's co. do the sme in USA?
As I said, if the IMF & World Bank gave a debt relief for the third world, why not our Banks and creadit Co. gave credit Card debt relief (forgiveness) who are paying tax and excessive interest (from 14-21%). This of course, doesn't include the late fee and the penality for not paying.
For example, City Bank has an asset of #60 trillions from the profit they get from us. Bank of America has the same profit while we the middle class are becoming poorer and poorer. Is there a government who is protecting its working and middle class from rip off to death by those greedy credit card companies and Banks? Don't you think we have to do something about it?
The banks and corporations are getting rich off of you. Why would they want to stop?
The government is owned by the same banks and corporations, so they're not gonna help either.
I also agree with the first poster ... Spending money that you don't have is not a good idea. Of course, the only differences between City Bank and a Loan Shark is that City Bank won't beat you up if you don't pay and they have a corporate logo.
I disagree with the 3rd poster. Credit card companies collect a percentage of every purchase from the seller, not just finance rates. So, they make money on everyone who pays it off every month too. And come on... 21% interest rate is Organized Crime territory!
Anyone that borrows on a credit card, signed an agreement, for fees penalties and the like. Blaming the credit card companies is like blaming the twinkies for making you fat. STOP SPENDING MONEY YOU DONT HAVE is the solution.
Do you realize if this happened there would be no credit cards.
Credit card companies make money off 15% of their customers. The vast majority of people pay on time so the credit card companies do not make a cent.
Instead the people that are continuosly late are the bread and butter for the banks.
If you can't afford to pay your credit card bills, do not get the cards. Common sense.
Debt relief has been given to the third world because they are bad debts - that means the likelyhood of ever getting the money back is virtually zero.
In the US, the banks have every chance of getting the money back and they do.
Debt is bought and sold by the banking industry and the merchants can actually make profit from buying and selling debt.
Also.....
Do you really think the US deserves their debts to be written off? Are you that bloody stupid? How could you even begin to compare a country with famine and high death rates with one which is full to the brim of greedy and obese people?
THUMBS DOWN??? THUMBS DOWN???
IT'S BLOODY TRUE - AFRICA IS A VERY POOR COUNTRY WHERE PEOPLE STARVE TO DEATH.
AMERICA IS A VERY RICH COUNTRY WHERE PEOPLE EAT THEMSELVES TO DEATH BY CHOICE!!!!
