    I am also in my early 30's and while my finance situation isn't the best, it isn't as bad as some of my friends that are in the same age bracket. I have spoken with them about various money saving ideas and they most fairly oblivious about it. I haven't given up on them yet though.

    At some point, everyone is going to need to learn to save or else they will never put their finanical house in order. The sooner you learn this the better.

    I don't think most people will ever get it together. I think the birth rate is going to drop due to all this debt.

    I'm not worried about your children - I'm sure you'll teach them money matters. I'm more worried about the country as a whole. I think many 20 something people are going to be working much longer that they think they will be. Most current 50 year olds are pretty honest that they might be working well past 65.

    thank goodness we are discussing the stte of our finances. Its bad and we have to take responsibility for teaching and applying debt management.

    We can't just blame the kids we had a part to play in it to. The me me me syndrome is biting our butts.
