Not having money and being irresponsible with money are not always related. Sure there are people that get a credit card and max it out the next day on stupid stuff that isnt needed. Some people though have a credit card and max it out because of a medical problem. Both are in debt. Both are financially insecure and strapped. Are both irresponsible with money? I never said they were related. Reread what I wrote, please. quote:
Average college grad is $40,000 in debt when they enter the workforce. Average law school grad is over $100,000 in debt. These people are dirt broke coming out of school. But they are on the right path...correct? Do they eventually pull themselves out of debt. Eventually yes. But sometimes they fail for a while and failure is pretty common right now considering the state of the economy. I know a guy with an engineering degree working as a bartender because he can't find an entry level job in his field. Are these people all irresponsible? Boy, you latched right on to the word "irresponsible", didn't you? As for folk coming out of school, yes, they are often broke. It's also perfectly fine if someone doesn't want to get involved with a person who is $40,000 or whatever in debt, no matter the reason. quote:
My point, like I said before, is people fall on tough times all the time. Even people who are responsible with money. And you can't judge a person's character, intelligence, and integrity based on their bank account balance. I never said anything about character, intelligence, integrity, or bank accounts. This thread is about a preference seen on some profiles here, and my post was merely an explanation of my point of view. I work full time, pay my bills, and (other than my car), I have no debts. My choosing to look for someone who likewise works, pays his bills, and has little debt is simply that, my choice. It says bugger all about anyone who isn't me.
