+Living in a capitalistic society can bring both joy and grief. Being able to choose a $100 sweater over a $10 one is a privilege precious to many us. We have been brainwashed to think that more is better, regardless of what more is. Our society is largely commercialism. We are bombarded with subliminal messages, urging us to buy, buy, and buy; and many of us do just that. We buy without knowing how we are going to pay. We live above ours means trying to keep up with the Jones’ s. Prices rise but our wages seem to stay the same. It is virtually impossible to avoid going into debt. In our diverse society, we have in common- DEBT. Debt can be controlled, but we all need to understand it and learn to avoid too much of it. This report will address the aspects of debt from different perspectives. It will address getting into debt and options for getting out of debt. This report will be informative and can be used by thousands of people searching for an understanding of debt and a way out…….
-Living in a capitalistic society can bring us both joy and grief. Having the choice between a $10 sweater or a $100 one is a right that is precious to many us. We have been socialized to think that more is better, regardless of whatever more is. Our society is built around selling and buying stuff. On a daily basis, everywhere we look, we are bombarded with messages of what to like, what to wear, where to live, who is attractive, and what product is better for us- and frankly, we tend to buy into these messages-just look around you. We, Americans, like it our way, the living over our financial capability way.
-With the price of virtually everything rising and wages staggering (to even dropping), it is getting harder and harder to avoid debt. From such a diverse society that we are, we all have one thing in common- we all live in DEBT. This concept, unfortunately, may seem as an inevitable phenomenon, but understanding it and controlling it can be a beneficial tool to have.
-This report will address the issues of debt from many different angles. From the reasons of going into debt to the options of getting out of debt. In the end, we want this report to be informative as well as applicable to the thousands of people searching for an understanding of the dynamics of debt and how to, eventually, get out of debt.
