T-bag D-bag asked:
“In international law, odious debt is a legal theory which holds that the national debt incurred by a regime for purposes that do not serve the best interests of the nation, should not be enforceable. Such debts are thus considered by this doctrine to be personal debts of the regime that incurred them and not debts of the state. In some respects, the concept is analogous to the invalidity of contracts signed under coercion…”

Method To The Madness asked:
In your opinion, do you believe that the number of American consumers that are in debt today, would be a dramatically lesser figure if commercials were never created (whether it be from TV, radio, internet, billboards etc)? Do you think it would even make a difference? Lastly, would you enjoy TV, radio, the internet, and your drive home from work– waaayy more if advertisements were non-existent? Personally, I can not stand someone trying to sell me “the new something” everyday of my life!

[A side note: A recent study revealed that the average American is able to identify over 1,000 + company's (fast food, clothing brands, car makes/models etc) just from a glimpse of their logos, but could identify less than 10 plants and animals native to their own region]
If anyone even answers…I thank you for your thoughts lol : )

I’m very uninformed in this area because I don’t really follow it, but I’ve heard a lot of pundits question why we’re doing this. National debt isn’t like personal debt, I mean we should pay it off buy we don’t have to bankrupt ourselves doing it. Could someone aware me on the situation?

I am looking for some guidance with my personal finances and I am not sure who would be the right type of person/organization to help me. i am not looking of investment advice or investment planning or anything like that, but rather advice on setting a plan for how to pay off some debt and wisely save some money before I mess things up for myself and my credit score. Right now my Credit score is above 700 and I am afraid that my finances are about to become too much for me.

Mixed debt — car, personal loan, credit card debt… I’m in good standing… but, with the new year slowly approaching… I’m ready to make some changes… Any suggestions?!? Bankruptcy is not an option… I like to pay my bills! I just need a plan to pay things off quicker… I still have three years left on the car… and another two on the personal loan…
