Staying at home a choice??
| Sun, 04-29-2007 - 6:46am |
The author of this article thinks most mothers go to work because they want to, not because they have to.
"Most parents from two-parent families today do have a choice when it comes to parental care. They can try and talk themselves into believing they don't, but it really boils down to priorities."

Does anyone (other than her) really believe this? I don't know of anyone among my friends who works who wouldn't rather be staying at home with their children. But they don't have the choice!

Let me know when you can post that link to me saying that direct quote:
If someone who could not afford a new mattress should not be living on their own
Wrong.
If your balance before the purchase was $1000, and after it was $2000, then you went deeper into debt. The amount owed to the cc increased due to the purchase.
Interest has nothing to do with it. You owe more now than you did before you purchased the couch, therefore you are deeper in debt. Once you've paid the cc for the couch in full, then you'll be back to where you were. So, it may not be a long-term increase in debt, but it DID increase your debt.
