Meanwhile, Corey and his friend bought an expensive hot air balloon for the store. Harrison and his dad are angry at his actions because he spent $38,000 on the balloon without talking it over with his dad and grandpa. Harrison wants Corey to call and undo the trade.

A specific freedom that still does not exist is “economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants.” There are still dozens of poverty stricken countries, known as Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC).

The World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMC), and other creditors teamed up to reduce the debt of 36 countries that met strict criteria.

Now Kris would have to borrow more money and fall into another cycle of repaying someone else with an interest. Don’t forget to pay yourself first. You are more important than any debt you may have. My theory is that we’ve been hypnotized as a society through advertising to consume beyond our means.

Years later, these debts became a serious barrier to poverty reduction and economic development in many poor countries. Governments began taking on new loans to repay old ones and many countries ended up spending more each year to service debt payments than they did on health and education combined. Wealthy countries and international financial institutions have taken action to relieve debt burdens in many of the world’s poorest countries – primarily through the ‘Heavily Indebted Poor Country’ (HIPC) scheme and the ‘Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative’ (MDRI) (see below) – but debt burdens are still a problem.
