Kristin: Let’s go shopping!
Ed: Wait a second. What are all these?
Kristin: They’re bills, but they don’t
have to be paid yet. Don’t worry. Let’s go!
There’s a new
pair of shoes with my name on it.
Ed: Hold on a minute. This is a notice saying
that you’re behind on your
house payments
and if you don’t pay soon, your house will go
into foreclosure.
Kristin: Oh, they’re just bluffing. I’m
only a little behind in my payments. I’ll get to
it next week.
Ed: And this is a notice from your bank telling
you that your car is being
repossessed because you
haven’t made a car payment in three months.
Is that true?
Kristin: I refuse to look at anything as boring
as a bill today.
Ed: And these are from the power
company and the phone
company. They’re going to
cut off your services if you don’t pay now.
Kristin: If I could just charge those
payments, I’d be okay.
Ed: Not with these credit cards. You’re
maxed out. I’m surprised you
haven’t heard from
collection agencies already.
Kristin: Maybe I have. They can
hound me all they want, but I’m not
that behind on my payments.
I’m tired of waiting. I’m going shopping with
or without you.
Ed: You’re on your own. I refuse to
help you toward your financial ruin!
