Changing Attitudes Towards Debt?

Jan. 29, 2008
Categorized in: Mortgages

This is far more interesting than anything I could write today.

I can't get this out of my head.

When is the right economic decision for your family the wrong moral choice? Is that even possible?

I agree that the conversation is starting to change. And that's a very good thing.

I'm not sure all the ramifications are a good thing!

Has the conversation changed at your house? Was Christmas spending different this year? If so, was it a fluke or a real change of lifestyle?

I think this reinforced my opinion that McMansions are in big trouble! Are builders thinking about the long term implications of all this?

Update (1/31/08): This blog explores this topic further and makes some interesting points. I've got to admit, I'm troubled and torn on all this.
