    Sadly, Americans are groomed at a young age to dive deep into debt early in life. It has become normalized for most of the population to carry some form of debt (credit cards and student loans are popular choices).

    Most people don’t even bother making a budget — a task that only needs to be done once a month, and is easier now than ever, thanks to technology.

      Try and make a budget for minimum wage. Many people can’t afford to live even meagerly.

      Why bother budgeting if you’re just going to lose anyway?
