Flyover Country

Saw this in the Kroger parking lot today, in the window of a Jeep.  It made me think that if more of us had this kind of attitude, I think we’d have much less debt in this country, and we’d be much less willing to put up with politicians who are spending us into oblivion.

Open ended, high-interest loans on things we really can’t afford used to be a source of shame.  In our grandparents’ day, if you couldn’t pay for it, you didn’t buy it.  Simple.

I personally take much more pride in the fact that my car is paid off than what kind of car it is.  I like to think my grandparents would be proud.
