Not "Show YOU the money"; "Show ME the money!"

What would you think of a family with following financial situation?

• Annual Income: $24,500
• Annual Spending: $35,370
• NEW Credit Card Debt: $10,870
• Existing Credit Card Balance: $167,600

You might think such people fiscally foolish at best.  And you'd be right.  Sadly, some in America are just like that when it comes to money.

What's worse? They are fiscally foolish with YOUR money.

Just add eight (8) zeros and you'll see.
