Show THE OLD prospector SAYS dear editor times do change in the old days it was considered the thing for a family to live within their means times shore do change the style now is for a family specially a young married couple to buy as much stuff as they think they can manage somehow to pay for making as little down payment as possible expecting everything to run smooth at least till they git out of debt but t the he unexpected happens in so many cases that a lots of these heavy buy ers are bound to run into trouble the average family now owes 2 as compared with only 1204 in 1948 and this debt now amounts to 45 per cent of a year years s income and folks are running into debt much faster than their incomes are growing and that s using mighty poor judgement jud gement yours truly THE OLD prospector |
