In today's society it can save you hundreds of thousand of dollars. I'd much rather live a month on white rice than significantly risk my credit score.

Credit score– Sure, life goes on if you don’t have a good credit score, but life is much easier for those who have the good score. In the example you provided, the person needs to learn how to properly set priorities. Credit payments are important, but basic necessities are way more important.

Money won’t make you happy, but not having money will definitely make you unhappy, especially when the time comes to pay the bills.

Then there’s the issue of working hard. I know of nobody who was successful without working hard. You’re right about working smart and making sure that you put yourself out there, but even working at a fast food place and putting your best effort in will help you later in your career. You will have learned a work ethic that many times proves to be the deciding factor of who gets a better job.

Just my opinion.

When I say wow, I mean the whole blog. It’s really well-done!
