Its possible to correct someone's errors, or disagree with them, without resorting to "bashing" or other self-indulgent rudeness.

My parents are immigrants and they insist that I have to major in either engineering or medicine in college because they make a lot of money. I know it's my life, but they are so pushy! They say that once I make the big money, I'll be happy, but inside I know that's not true. So, how do you deal with parents who totally disagree with you on item #1?

I have to admit, I winced at a few of the items because I saw myself there ... Anyways, this has reaffirmed that I will be driving my 94 Tempo for a few more years.

Most of modern welfare state can be summarized as such. Theft outsourced to IRS is still theft.

Yes, it's true that there are lots of resources for the motivated but people don't know what they don't know. Yeah, after you're in debt up to your eye balls some people are able to have a "coming to Jesus" moment and figure out that debt is bad and then start on the road to fixing it. But all of that could have been avoided if they could have gotten their ounce of prevention at the start. A good financial education as a teen is a lot like good sex education as a teen. We don't want our kids to burden themselves with massive debt at the start of their lives no more than we want our kids to have a teen pregnancy. Sorry so long winded.
