Did I help bring this economy down?

[El Supremo]

I haven't bought hardly anything I don't need.
I drive a 43 year old car.
I haven't had any credit card debt in many years.
I paid off my mortgage 10 years ago.
I haven't taken out any loan.
I saved everything I could.
I invested very little in stocks.

Credit companies hate me. This economy was built on falsely collateralized credit. I did not contribute to the frenzy. But I'm sure paying for it now. It must be my fault somehow.

1. You're a drain on the lending industry!

:P

[Deja Q]

2. Blame the followers, the leaders, or those who do nothing but sit on the fence.

Or is this a different context...

3. I'm like you.

I own my land and home. I don't have too much credit card debt. I drive an 18 year old truck. No loans. No stock.
When the fat cats and the folks who defaulted on home loans get saved, what do we get? The bill?

4. Yep and you now need to report to the Blackwater for re-adjustment.

:shrug: What happened the last time Republicans had control of both houses of Congress and the Presidency. I believe it was in the late twenties...

5. Yes. If everybody lived like you their economy would have collapsed years ago.

You bastard!

Hey everybody! It's El Supremo's fault, let's kill him!!

6. Yes. Send ME all your money and I'll see it is spent properly! :)

[IDemo]

7. Same story - bought a new truck for cash 15 years ago, paid off the mortgage, no debt

I'm so ashamed of myself! :cry:

[guitar man]

8. 43 year old car?

cool, that's a classic! I have a '65 Chevy pickup I'm going to restore one of these days, if I ever get the time and the money at the same time. :hi:

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

9. Yep, my fault too, pay my bills on time, don't have credit card,

just use a debit card, never had a new vehicle.

11. I'm with you - No good deed goes unpunished

Nobody gets more than a Christmas card from me this year, except me.
