And if you don't have a job, you're not poor because you already have the means to survive without working. Come to think of it, no one is ever poor.

And you laughed at my 25K? Which is now all paid back, by the way. I owe nobody anything, other than my rent and utility bills every month/two months.

I don’t think I laughed at that one. I don’t know what your bankruptcy laws are like or how unforgiving the interest you were paying.

I would like to see what those debt rates would be adjusted for mortgages.

I don't know what the rates are/were. I don't think the bank I was with was particularly exorbitant. I mean, as I've ranted on here about before, I see payday loan companies advertising up to 1,250 percent! ****s. Our bankruptcy laws are going through a bit of a shakeup, with the introduction of the Personal Insolvency Laws, but I was never close to bankrupt. Paying out a quarter of your wages a month on loan repayments is bad, but I was never at breaking point or anything like that. I could have saved if I had tried, but of course I'm a stupid ****, so no I did not.
