We Can't Afford to Save Right Now



As a rule, I distrust all politicians. Even the one in this YouTube video.

But I sure do agree with what Fred's saying (8 minutes):



Well, I dunno about the "liberal economists" thing, but most of the rest of it is spot-on. Particularly:

"We can't afford to save right now. We can only afford to spend."

Oh, how I do loves me some sarcasm.

I'd laugh if it didn't ring so true to the American thought process...

Thoughts on my personal finances, goals, experiences, motivations, and accomplishments (or lack thereof).

My financial life began turning around when I took responsibility for it.
