Excerpt:
At fourteen years old, Barbara received her first credit
card
allowing her to be authorized to charge on her mom’s
account. Her mom felt the $500 limit would give Barbara some
spending money while teaching her how to control her finances.
Instead, since her mother paid the monthly credit card
bills, Barbara
learned credit meant easy money. She just presented the
card, and
money appeared. What could be easier?
Ten years went by. Barbara got a well-paying job as an
architect,
which enabled her to get even more high-limit cards. She
bought a
car new, direct from a dealer (on credit, of course), and filled
her
apartment with nice furniture. She wore the newest fashions
and
ate at the best restaurants. Barbara continued along,
accumulating
debt, until this scenario unfolded at the bank...
“Sorry,” the guy behind the thick glass said, “I can’t give
you
another loan.”
“What? But . . .”
“It’s not me. Computer says no.”
“But why?”
“You still haven’t paid off the last one.”
“But you gave me a payday loan last month.”
“Yeah, like I said, you gotta pay that back. Can’t help
you.”
“But how will I eat?”
“Your problem. Can’t help you.”
In this modern age, you’re constantly bombarded by
advertising. Even during the drive to work, you’re inundated with commercial
messages. They’ve become so prevalent that you may not even be conscious of
them, but you can be sure you are soaking up every word. Advertising is
everywhere, and it is designed to drive everyone to spend money. There’s
nothing particularly wrong with spending money as long as you are still meeting
your other financial goals. However, modern ads are designed to work at an
unconscious level, being seen over and over and over again to drill in the
concept that you must buy a particular brand of sneakers or sunglasses to be
cool. It seems as if there’s always something that we are being told we want,
something we must have to make our lives complete. It might be a brand-new car,
a video game, a new movie that must be seen on the night it comes out, or that
new smartphone that was just released yesterday. Advertising and marketing have
convinced the general public of the necessity of purchasing the newest models
of something we already have far more often than necessary. This phenomenon is
especially prevalent with automobiles, smartphones, video game consoles, and
computers.
As I am fast approaching retirement age, this sounds like an essential read for me. Thank you for sharing the book and author details
