I've been reading the comments and I'm thinking most of the younger people are doing a great job and being responsible.  However, when you are doing well, planning your retirement, paying off your mortgage and loans and all of a sudden you get sick, lose the job you set to retire from in 8 months, the savings get eaten up with legal fees trying to save that job from unscruptulous supervisors, all of a sudden the medical bills hit you, bankruptcy is staring at you and the nightmare is out of control!!  So you start over after losing your profession, going on disability, paying outrageous insurance premiums and thanking the good Lord that you haven't had to fall even farther.  You look at your credit score and are hopeful that a score of 693 will rise into the 700's and even though you are only 423 dollars in debt you owe nothing else, save the routine monthly utilites, drug bills, groceries and Dr. visits and the insurance premiums for health, life & funerals, which will come eventually.  Sounds grim, huh?  Not really, at least you wake up every day & can thank the Lord for another day to worship and serve Him.  Growing older or getting sick doesn't come with guarantees.
