Jerry, these are good articles, and the one on debt is pretty scary. The most interesting one is the cost of bad habits. I have never smoked, but I have wondered how those who do smoke can afford it. They don't make more money than me, but they are spending over $150/month on smokes. I have a friend who once told me he can always find money for smokes. It makes me wonder what he doesn't buy so he can pay for his addiction.
