I've always thought your advice had an irresponsible ring to it -- and now we have proof
In your own words:
I got this warm fuzzy notion a couple of years ago that we would remodel our house and make it a beautiful place. I figured, let's just go for it. Borrow the money, hire the people, do the work and figure out later how to pay for it.
Now, that's IRRESPONSIBLE. Financially irrational.
I still shudder at the advice you gave a woman not too long ago about having a kid she know she couldn't afford. More or less: "Go ahead, kids don't cost too much."
Naw, unless you have some minimum basic standards with regard to the EDUCATION and CARE of that kid.
You really need to think about this area of your brain, Cary, if you are going to be giving other sorry cases advice.
We've all made our mistakes, but this is a habitual pattern of thought, here.
