You’ve probably heard of the man who killed himself and his entire family in California Tuesday morning. The only question I have for this guy is; “Really? You couldn’t think of anything better to do in this situation than killing your wife and 5 kids?” Come on! If you read the Times article, found here (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/29/us/29family.html?_r=1&ref=us), you’ll find that this family had taken out three mortgages and filed for bankruptcy once already. They also recently remodeled their home.
I can understand that some people are having a rough time right now. We all live in daily fear of unemployment. It’s a scary place, out there in today’s market. But to kill your innocent children? I can’t believe this guy.
Get a clue people. It’s time to start living like we’re in an economic crisis. You can live without a huge house, without fancy toys, without a big screen TV, without a two-car garage, even without two cars if necessary. I know it seems difficult, but is living without these things really worse than not living at all? Possibly, instead of using our tax dollars to fund vacations for AIG employees, we should invest in some budgeting/personal finance classes for the citizens of America.
