 Consumer
debt loads at record - USA
Today
Weighing in on the increasingly heated debate, some economists warn consumers might be in over their heads when their payments increase. Others, including those at the Federal Reserve, say interest rates won't rise until economic growth — and incomes — are also gaining strongly, making the higher payments possible. Plus, much of the increase in debt in recent years has been for mortgages, and millions of Americans have low rates locked in for 30 years.

When do you think debt is worth it? If someone borrowed something
from you and you charged interest, what would you charge? If
some charged you interest for something you borrowed, would
you still barrow it? Explain.

Here is an interesting fact to throw out there. In the following
illustration we are taking six days to pay off the dessert and
dinner debt. Here is the reality of credit card debt: A $40
meal placed on a credit card that charges 18%, making the minimum
payment of 1.5% (the norm) would come out to a payment of $0.60/mo.
for 30 years! This turns the $40 meal, that really only gave
you energy until your next meal, into a $216 memory.

How do you define success for your child? “Graduates from a prestigious college.” “Nabs a high-paying job.” “Settles down with a nice family.” Sounds good. But what if you got it all wrong?
What about greatness? Where does it fit in? “If you aim your children at anything less than greatness, you’ll set them up to miss the whole point of their lives,” says author Tim Kimmel. In Raising Kids for True Greatness, Kimmel turns the definition of success on its head and guides you in preparing your child for a life that will easily eclipse the goals of those who are merely successful.
