I freaking love this. One of the topics that I have seen frequently on the PF blogosphere is how little financial education there is for America's youth, and how that leads to poor decision making as adults.
In a reversal of roles, High School Freshman and Teen Columnist, Emily Hu, writes For Adults, It's Payback Time.
A brilliant nugget from Miss Hu's article:
"It comes down to this: Once upon a time, when people were forced to really consider what they could afford and credit actually counted for something, people bought houses they could live in for a few years."
How sad that anyone could actually make a statement "people were forced to consider what they could afford.

Yes, we definitely need more teens like Emily who take charge and learn what they are not being taught. I realize this is an old thread, but I wanted to let everyone know that I am 15 and have created my own blog to do exactly what she has done. good luck everyone

Every one admits that today's life is not cheap, however some people need cash for different stuff and not every one gets enough cash. Thence to get quick mortgage loans or just term loan will be good way out.

This is a good subject to talk about. Sometimes I fav stuff like this on Redit. This article probably won’t do well with that crowd. I will be sure to submit something else though.

Boo hoo alright, it was only three who topped themselves. Pity a few more, (particularly Mahommed Daoud) didn't take that option also.
