First the Miss USA grandmother who pops a cap, and now this. Some 72-year-old ex-Marine gets hit by a pickpocket, and rather than just fork over the dough, Mr. Good Man fixes a nice, big knuckle sandwich for the dishonest yahoo. I tell ya ... when they talk about the US Marine Corps being the elite, they ain't kidding, jack. Name me another geriatric who could sock a crook in the kisser and live to tell about it.

Debt happens the same way, see? You get money taken from you (those high interest rates) and pretty soon you feel old and withered, like you can't fight back. I say ... bull. Get mad that people are ripping you off left and right when you use debt. Get so ticked off about you're being pushed around that you want to pay off debt and start pushing back. Simple, simon.
