Which, if you are out of debt and self reliant, is not all that much
of an issue.  If you are in debt to your eyeballs and depend on the
government or other social programs for all your support, then yes, you are
in a heap of trouble.

I would like to reiterate for the record - Kimball is *not* the "Average
American" ..

Knowing Matt, I'm not entirely sure what he means by this comment, but I'm choosing to take it to mean that I work hard, save, and am careful with my resources.

It should be known that Matt and I used to work for the same company, and he reported to me.

I would also like to pose the question: *why* can't we change what an "average" american is? Why do we all have to accept that average americans are in too much debt, make too little money, and the government has to bail them all out?

Perhaps my personal world is too small, but I can't see any irrefutable reason why average americans *can't* save money, be more prudent where they spend what they earn, and stay out of debt.
