The life choice is to save money and remain flexible.

That's only valid when your income exceeds your basic cost of living.
Poor families (or individuals) can't -save- money unless they make
more than they need to live on. They've already learned to use store
coupons, cook all their meals (since dining out is EXPENSIVE, even at
fast-food restaurants), buy used cars (and fix them themselves), avoid
brand name items ($12 sneakers beat $265/pair Air Jordans), get food
stamps, shop Goodwill, etc.


You cannot forecast every corporate stupidity.

Verily.
