[...] I have never been a fan of fingerpointing. Usually the one who is doing the most fingerpointing is the one who probably should be looking in the ‘responsibility’ mirror. [...]

Rhonda:

It’s so funny because, as I was writing this post, I was thinking the same thing. I think it would be a great seminar to present to not only high school students but also college students. College is the time when people are first on their own and “go a little crazy,” and can get themselves into debt.

thanks for reading and commenting.

Your metaphor/image of a “neutron loan” is fabulous, though fabulous in a sad way. That metaphor really hits home for me. Nobody, especially the borrower, knows that there is real damage until it is too late.

Thanks for reading and commenting.

Great post, Richard. Maybe your next book can be on financial awareness? I would love to be able to educate high school students on credit scoring and practical finance.

Very good post for consumers to read and ponder. It has always amazed me how some loan originators never gave it a thought when placing their clients in a “neutron loan.” You also picked a good blog to link, Rhonda has written several stron posts regarding this issue.

Keep up the good work.
