Of course not.  The economy is in shambles, as is this country.

Exactly.  It's like making $50k a year in salary, running up $25k on your credit cards, and claiming you made $75k.  House of cards.

my oldest has done just that ... the fool.
now he is broke and moved back in about 3 months ago .. sad thing is I still don't think he gets it ... I guess it is a generation thing.
my mastercard gets paid off monthly. If I can't cover it at months end, I don't buy it.

the difference with the credit bubble and the 90's bubble is that the burst is in your hands not some intertard company ...

Eagler,
Read "The World is Flat" if you haven't already.  It gives some interesting insight into how that intertardnet bubble is still paying dividends today.
