The “Money as Debt” was created by Paul Grignon in 2006. It is the most fascinating video I have ever seen. Moreover, I am just amazed how much I have learned in just 47 minutes. This video describes how basic banking system works and answers the question where the money comes from.

My husband and I are on our way to becoming debt free and with that comes some challenges. We have set ourselves out to accomplish one hard task: do not spend money on anything, unless it is an emergency/necessity, so we can put as much money into paying off our debt faster. I have two kids who are out of school for the summer and are always wanting to do things, and I can’t blame them. With the task at hand I have been finding new ways to use things we already have in the house. Our textbook states “No matter how old something is, new uses can always be devised for it.” (Ruggiero 98) I have tried to do that with some of the kid’s games. For example, I don’t want my daughter, who was in kindergarten, to lose her math skills on break so I took

Is getting a college education worth going into debt? That is a good question and one that I say yes to. There are many reasons to go to college, such as getting that high quality education to go further in the job you currently have, or to get an new job all together. Another reason could be to become a good role model for your kids, or just so you can proudly say you were the first in your family to go and graduate to college. Another reason could be that you simply go because everyone else in your family has been. Whatever the reason, there are definitely benefits to going into debt in order to go to college, because it has almost become necessary to have a college degree to have a good job.

Because people don’t see the money leaving their hands to pay for something it creates a false perception it didn’t cost that much. Therefore it is easier to overspend your budget. Whether it is buying an expensive house or charging the credit card for eating out or binge shopping at the mall, spending money is easy and fun and many people get themselves in a lot of debt.

Despite the year 1835 when Andrew Jackson eliminated all national debt, America has always remained under some level of debt. Recently there has been a large amount of fear surrounding Americans debt. In 2014, a Gallup poll found that 58% of respondents worry about the federal deficit a great deal. Following Congress raising the debt limit at the end of October, the government experienced the largest single day increase in debt on November 3 (Korte 1). This large increase follows the recent trend of exponential growth of the debt. As the debt continues to grow without the government reducing spending or increasing taxes many citizens and economist are concerned over the debt. In June, the congressional budget office described in a report

As a High School senior, the inevitability of student loans always hung over my head, and yet among the sea of things that I could’ve done, scholarships never felt like an option. Scholarships exist to help students pay for a college education, something which has become indispensable for a “suitable” life nowadays. So then why do students willingly ignore the plethora of scholarships available to them? The answer is frustratingly simple: scholarships aren’t built around the student’s they’re supposed to target.

Through this article Dave Ramsey talks about some of the lies people tell us. Such as, “debt is a tool that should be used help create prosperity” (The Truth about Debt, Ramsey). He talked about how the bible has nothing good to say about debt. He also talks about how he believed the lies about debt when he was going to school for his career in real estate. He lost everything he owned and became bankrupt. Through this time he found a verse in the bible that said, “The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender” (Proverbs 22:7 NIV). Ramsey believes that people can live a debt free lifestyle with Gods help.

The United States of America is currently being stared down by twenty trillion dollars in debt. This debt is not to be blamed one political party, but rather the entire American population since the beginning of our country’s existence. We have been spending our money as if we are a large country, but taxing our people like we are a small country. The debt of our country is battling a “physical cancer that is growing inside of us that could bring about catastrophic consequences.” There are four deficits: budget, savings, trade, and leadership, aiding our country’s debt crisis. Each of these deficits has their own influence on debt, and each of them has a possible solution.

Ultimately, my clients are willing and feel obligated to pay any debt they actually owe. However, there are some significate issues with the existence and/or the amount of the debt. In addition to my clients being informed that the short sale included their obligation as guarantors, we have learned that the lender (West America Bank) reported to the SBA that after the short sale the lender attempted to contact the guarantors about the remaining balance owed on the loan and offered a compromise. This is not true. My clients were not aware of this alleged debt until December 2015. However, due to the potential cost of fighting the alleged debt, my clients may be willing to just “write a check” if there is such an opportunity. We have been trying

When most Americans think about Jamaica, we think about the beautiful beaches, warm weather, and friendly people that make it a fabulous vacation spot. This movie shows the place in a different light, by showing a pressuring problem of debt. The everyday survival of many Jamaicans is based on the economic decisions of the United States and other powerful foreign countries.
