#education #business Following the script📝 If we track the life of average educated people, the financial script often goes like this: The child to goes to school🏫, graduates, finds a job and soon has some money💵 to spend. The young adult now can afford to rent an apartment🏢, buy a TV set⬛, new clothes👕👖, some furniture🚪 and, of course, a car🚘. And now the bills🧾 begin to come in. One day, the adult meets someone special, sparks fly👫, they fall in love and get married💍. For a while, life is blissful because the two can live as cheaply as one. They now have two incomes, only one rent to pay, and they can afford to set a few dollars💰 aside to buy the dream of all young couples, their own home🏠. They find their dream home, pull the money from savings and use it for a down payment on the house, and they now have a mortgage📄. Because they have a new house, they need new furnishings, so they find a furniture store that advertises those magic words, "No money down, easily monthly payments." Life is wonderful, and they throw a party🎊🎉 to have all their friends💃🧍🧍‍♀🧍‍♂🕺 over to see their new house, new car🚘, new furniture🚪, and new toys🧸. They are now deeply in dept📉 for the rest of their lives📆. Then, the first child👼 arrives. The average well-educated, hardworking couple👫, after dropping the child off at nursery school🏫 must now put their nose to the grindstone and go to work💼. They become trapped by the need for job security simply because, on average, they are less than three months📆📆📆 away from financial bankruptcy📉. From these people you often hear," I can't afford to quit. I have bills🧾 to pay💴," or modification from a song🎼 from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, "I owe, I owe, so it's off to work I go🏃🏽‍♂🏃🏽‍♀. " Or from Tennessee Ernie Ford's song🎧 from the '50s "You load 16 tons and what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt Saint Peter don't you take me because I can't go. I owe my soul to the company store." Who knows people like this?
