Excellent. All you say is correct. I am sorry you personally fell for it, but also happy you are now working on a plan for financial security. It seems like every generation falls into this trap, when I was in my twenties David Chilton was pushing The Wealth Barber, same basic idea as Ramsay. Keep it up, and keep preaching this message. Personal financial security and the freedom it brings is the number one thing you can do to maintain a free and independent voice. And IF you need to borrow, don't use a fucking credit card, get a line of credit.

Consumerism is one reason I think that large corporations in the grocery sector (Loblaws, Save On Foods and Sobeys), and the telecommunications industry (Bell, Rogers and Telus) support mass migration.

While Canadians are getting too high into debt and have a declining purchasing power (due to inflation and low wage increases) the big corporations need to find more ways to sell more so the shareholders or owners are happy. Hence, more people equals more groceries and more smartphones.
