  • debt=modern day slavery

  • emotional shopping.......shiet no wonder you are in debt!! and now i bet you want the gov't to bail you out..........FU!!

  • Credit cards aren't evil - its the intention. I pay my balance 100% each statement and get reductions. Learn self control.

  • This isn't a "trap", it's self indulgence and lack of self-control.  Come on, read the fine print when you get a credit card! Plain and simple.

  • I feel better about myself when I make contemptible comments of judgment. It's only because I lead a happy and fulfilled life that I can predict the future perfectly absent of errors in decision making.

  • I have alot of student loan debt, but i am a medical student. Hopefully, much of my student loans can be paid off by doing residency in an uderserved area. This lady, on the other hand, is in financial trouble due to her own bad decisions.

  • This gal is a dip*hit. She spent herself into a hole. She wallowed in self absorption over her divorce. She put on too many pounds, she spends money to make herself happy, she smokes.

    She needs to be mindful and accept responsibility for her own actions. She acts like a child when a credit card is offered, and yet she's an adult that should be able to see the trap they represent.

  • They're having a sale on PS3s at Best Buy, Buy 15 get 3 free !!!! YAAYYY!!!!

  • i just bought jeans for $ 225

  • awesome
