I am debt free. What can you say about that Mr. Dolan?
It seems the only people that get attention are the screw ups. I guess people thrive on negativity. That is where the conversation always goes. I deserve a medal.

Mike, you don't deserve a medal, you deserve a kick in the pants for being an insensitive jerk. Granted, it is best to avoid debt in the first place; however, for those who have landed themselves in debt (for reasons that may be outside of your scope of understanding), then worthy advice is needed and appreciated. So, take your pompous, childish display and go thumb your nose at someone else.
