Boomer, Steve, and the rest.......
You are so right. I know people who just are so bad with their money...then go plead bankruptcy and shaft all those they owe.
I've never paid a penny interest on credit cards, never bounced a check, and figured out for myself what we could afford for a mortgage BEFORE the bank told us anything.
"What do you mean, there's no money in the account...I still have checks!"
