Game show
Stupid's not illegal ... that's what Dave Ramsey says. But it sure is funny, baby. At least when you're talking about game shows. I thought I'd seen it all when that dame on Family Feud answered "September" when Richard Dawson asked "during what month of pregnancy does a woman begin to look pregnant?" Then, I read this game show bit about other, stupider "A"s to those "Q"s.You know where stupid ain't funny? When it comes to money, honey. You tell me why it's smart to buy something on plastic and make credit card payments at 18%. Clue me in on why you get a new car loan and end up paying 14 grand for a $12,000 set of wheels that is worth about 4,800 and change when you try to sell it.
If you're doing stupid, don't worry ... DEBTective is on the scene. Wanna find out how to win with the dough? Want your family to sleep better at night? Here's your chance ...

I agree about the car loan, but disagree about using a credit card. If you pay off your balance in full at the end of each month, not only do you get rewarded, but you also build up your credit history - which, unfortunately, controls all aspects of our lives in some way or another. All it takes is some self-discipline and common sense, but as you've already pointed out, a typical person doesn't have much of either...
