I lold at "what would Jesus buy?"

But nonetheless, the concept is great and its a plan that should ground most of us that splurge unnecessarily. Ofcourse Im speaking bout my bros that are neck high into debt.

It's ironic how many marketers (myself included) are rampantly anti-consumerist.

Unfortunately, we Americans can't live without our thousands of dollars worth of shit we don't actually need. And when they offer it at super discounted prices - well I'm afraid we just won't be able to resist.

Or we have just evolved and see the stupidity of buying useless crap that's been marketed well but has no purpose.

An excellent productive way of trolling.

Actually the irony goes deeper.

How about the whole "You're in financial trouble because you spend too much"
and then the "Our country is in financial trouble because you won't spend enough"
"save, no debt"
"lending saves"

wut.
