I don't think it was the wrong decision to take advantage of these opportunities, but people just didn't know how to manage their spending or realize how their decisions would impact the future. It's more a case of ignorance than anything in my mind. People saw a great opportunity to get ahead, but didn't take the time to gather the knowledge needed to properly take advantage in the long-run.Dane Macdonellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16430688254790892712noreply@blogger.com
