Maybe people shouldn't buy so much crap they don't need, and try to live more like their parents did? How many people are fine with buying a vehicle they can afford, instead of leasing a new SUV, or not getting the tricked out pickup? We mostly had used vehicles, the truck was a base model.

How many TV's do they have in their house? Growing up we had one, and it sucked. No cable until my teens, I think. We survived.

Cell phones? No one forces you to have a data plan, or even a phone. You certianly don't need a new one on a payment plan every year.

People have just given up, or never learned how to live within their means. This is the result. I sure hope my tax dollars don't need to bail them out.
