Debt on Silver Screen

"Maxed Out" seems like signs of the times: we are too much in debt. I disagree on faulting the credit card companies and banks: they only make the money (debt) available. The greed and selfishness (the "I want it now and am entitled so!") are not something forced on by the companies but from within. Victimhood and entitlement are too ingrained in American culture today. So sad.

Update 4/5: There is a funny SNL skit on debt management that's been referred to at many places so I thought I'd point it out: "Don't buy stuff you cannot afford."
