I’ve read this article some time ago. When I first saw it I wanted to scream. At the time I was a college student with over $26,000 in debt, working 20 hours a week for $5.15/hr. This is the first thing that caught my eye.

They’ve even considered giving up their unlisted phone number. At a cost of $3 a month, this move wouldn’t save much — even over, say, 150 years

Are you seriously telling me that things are that bad that this is what it’s come to? It’s a double income family and they claim to be struggling from week to week. One of the only explainations I’ve seen for their, um, situation is that the dude went and bought himself not one, but two rental properties. At the writing of this article he hasn’t found any tenants? Now how many months of paying for these properties with NO revenue coming in from them does it take to figure you need to cut your losses?

Now here’s the kicker, now of the kids (four of them age 4 to 9) have any college funds yet. Also, the wife has stopped putting money into her 401(k). But yet they find enough money to hire a financial advisor to tell them that they’re insane. But the husband is set on making his landlord stuff work. Now I’m thinking if you rake in 150 grand a year why are we so greedy and need to try landlord stuff to make extra money? But you know how things are, Karma’s a bitch. So his venture for making extra cash comes back to bite him in the ass. Oh well, better them than me. I’m trying to save the little I have.
