And I suppose that credit card debt being at an all time high is fine with those who seem to think they are so wise. It is amazing how people spew whatever they want to believe without looking into the real situation and what is truly going on.

What is truly going on, pray tell.

I guess you will have to work on figuring that out.

If you have no problem with credit card debt being at an all time high I guess your knowledge of finances and economics leaves something to be desired.

As you can see, you will never get the answer. You need the super secret decoder ring from the Lucky Charms box for that info.

@JillyMarie LOL You will never find out unless you know the secret handshake and have a special decoder ring.

No need to be insulting.

I took a huge hit from the big stock market crash of 2008 with the bundling of mortgages from the banks.

I thought I was diversified as I chose banks throughout the world.

Wrong. It happened overnight with one bank loss being Lehman and the house of cards went tumbling down within hour's.

If you have the time, the market is best but diversify them in all different sectors. As for me I'm now into CD's and out of the "grand casino".

I remember my broker telling me it's a mindset. If you are comfortable with risk the stock market is for you and you can sleep at night regardless. If you prefer peace and safety, CD's , US bonds are the way to go.

Insults are what you hurl, when you have nothing else.

A variety of issues can cause credit card debt. Some causes may be the result of expensive life styles, lack of self control in purchasing items, while others may stem from poor money management or failure to meet payments on time or not paying debt off completely each month.
