FYI 80% of nesties are lousy at personal finance

And I am a personal finance nazi.  If you have a problem with something, address it in a relevant post.  It seems sort of strange to post a giant call-out out of nowhere, and it is not conducive to anything.

This is the baby board, not the money board.  I save my financial flames for the MSN Money Matters board.  (That place gets fun, too!)

I would be 80% is low-balling it.  Given the percentage of the country that is one paycheck away from being on assistance themselves?

Actually, the media way overplays it, which I hate because it makes the irresponsible ones feel like their debt is okay because they are the norm.  At least half of America is pretty fiscally responsible.  The Nest just has a higher proportion of silly women obsessed over lavish weddings and excessive baby gear.

Nice!  What's his username?  I've been posting more here since 3rd tri, but I used to post there daily and would recognize regulars.  I think a whole bunch migrated though.  I must have missed some major drama.

I don't know it..it's probably something with dmk in it or something like that.   And if you do recognize that part of a screen name I hope he wasn't a jerk, lol!  I'll have to ask him what it is when he gets home.  What's yours (if you don't mind)?  He gets so into that board sometimes!
