learning with fdq: debt, debt and more debt

i turned the tv on last night and this movie called maxed out was on. i started to record it when fdq came home and i showed him the movie. not surprisingly, he got it last year and watched it already. so we watched it again. remember in college signing up for a number of credit cards just for the free t-shirt or water bottle? i do. luckily, i avoided racking up the credit card debt that millions of americans have. but it's amazing how being in debt creates such a pyschological hold - people just don't know what to do. and corporations feed it.
