    The price of everything is going up but paychecks aren't. Hoping too that people realize that nows the time to stop taking on more debt in addition to making do with less. To keep buying things on credit and thinking they can just pay later is like a time bomb ready to go off. Thanks for the article.

    I have a hard time feeling any sympathy for Wal-Mart, who reported lackluster sales last quarter. Geeze, doesn't Wal-Mart make enough money as it is?
