    Default SNL's take on how individuals can recover financially

    Priceless! I think this was done in 2006 but obviously relevant now -- advice both from a personal and federal level, I think.

    "I buy something I want, and then hope that I can pay for it, right?"

    If you could kick in the pants the person responsible for your problems, you wouldn't be able to sit for a month.

    Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"

    Me and dh saw this awhile ago and love it. We always joke about it when we go shopping or are thinking of buying something.

    It's a little confusing at first, but it's all in the book. It's only one page long!
