She actually probably doesn't look bad for her age either..
How far off are we from doing this? Probably very far off, but.. think about how many people are losing their jobs, then short selling their homes because they can't afford their mortgage anymore? The high percentage of people who are forced to claim bankruptcy because of health insurance debt? Where do these people go when they lose their homes? I love my parents to death, but if I lost my home, I'd rather live in the woods in a tent than move back in with them. I think it's burdening and I think it can potentially cause many problems with families..
The freezing North / South Poles? I mean, if I had absolutely no choice to go anywhere else, and it meant life or death, of course I'd go shack up there. Hell, I'd probably even do it before I allowed my government to put an RFID chip in me or any of my family members.. I think Americans are in for a very rough ride. If you think things are bad now, just wait until they put more scare-tactics into your heads to get what they want from you. Things aren't going to get better before getting much much worse. Especially when we can't stop spending trillions of dollars here and there.
Let me ask you guys a personal question. Let's say you have $50,000 in credit card debt.. What would YOU do? Would you double down your payments and get it paid off in ~ 5 - 7 years.. or would you say, "Aw, screw it.. I'm already in the hole" and go out and spend another $250,000 and dig yourself even deeper?
