It's the Affordability (Economy) Stupid! FACTS vs LIES.
Exploring more of the fascinating intersection of Activism, Community Engagement, Faith / Religion, Human Nature, Politics, Social Issues, and beyond

• raising minimum payments to speed principal payoff

• owning mistakes, learning fast, and staying focused on substance
