September 24th, 2008 · 11 Comments · Personal Finance
Dogatemyfinances was talking about Personal Responsibility, specifically someone complaining about their living situation. I have to say I agree. No one makes people live where they live.

MP Dunleavy writes about people becoming more honest about finances recently in “feeling broke - discuss it?” and she’s wondering what’s up. She says she’s interviewed people and it’s been suggested that it’s due to people being in financial binds. I asked the question recently “why aren’t we be honest?”
