Ha! Touche.
I was just fresh off a discussion with a 20-something who thinks she should be absolved of her student loan debt so that she can use that money to buy things and stimulate the economy.
So I said cool, I want my mortgage debt eliminated too so I can do even more shopping than you could possibly do with your student loan debt!
But she said mortgages shouldn't count.
Boo. |

Well, when she can live in her college degree or sell it for a profit, then you will have an argument.

No, because her justification was economic stimulation. If that is the basis of one's justification, then mortgage debts would free up FAR more spending power. I make double what she makes. If you alleviate me of my mortgage, I'll go to town with my spending in ways she can only dream.
Do you think recent graduates are just as willing to work their way up from the bottom as say, our parents generation? (I'm assuming we're the same age, I'm 35). I don't. Anyway, I was just explaining to City_Dawg -- let's not derail this thread about doo doo. =) |

24 IS your parents' generation.

I'm only your parents generation if your parents were having kids at 11.

A dirty baby's diaper is visually indistinguishable from a burrito at Chipotle and probably more savory.
