anything, which is why I like him so much. If you are in debt and drowning it's usually your own fault by overspending, buying too much house, trying to keep up appearances. While I do understand when there are medical bills, etc, causing debt, when you have a couple of car payments, a huge mortgage, a boat payment, and every credit card charged to the hilt, it's your own fault, not the credit card companies. Live like no one else so later on you can live like no one else! We loved seeing him in October and will probably go see him again this year.
