Who forces all her kids that have jobs even us older ones in our 20's to save a certain amount of our monthly income (anywhere from 500 to 2000) we have to give it to her every month and then at the end of the year she gives it to us as a lump sum and we make big purchases we want, put it in our savings, or pay off our debts. In my opinion its the best way to save, but you have to have complete trust in your parents to pull something like that off.

Has anyone seen these shows?

About married couples and young women respectively who are in a great deal of debt and continue spending far more than they earn.

They are quite addictive shows and Gail Vaz-Oxlade is great fun to watch trying to hammer some sense into these people, but god its depressing.

We seem to live in a society so full of people with insane entitlement issues and no real sense of their actual worth or ability.

How do people end up so out of wack with reality?

How do we as a society stamp this shit out?
