I'm not sure when I started to act like an adult but I think it was around the time that I attained my first fulltime job. I started to learn about just how many hours were invested in a work week and how valuable the time off truly was. I knew that what I made had to be saved and that spending what I earned on a regular basis was not a great indicator of my financial status. If I was able to avoid debt services up until now, how is it others think it is okay to use them without any rational basis?
For those who have been keeping up to speed as far as the news is concerned, perhaps you've recognized the story of a man who obliterated his life savings at a carnival. A man by the name of Henry Gribbohm took to a carnival and played the Tubs of Fun game. One of the bigger prizes was an Xbox Kinect; keep in mind that this particular item goes for about $100 at most stores. I'm sure that everyone's been guilty of dropping a twenty or two for such a game but I didn't realize just how serious it became.
I think that most would make the connection that he lost money as a result but how much did he throw away, you may wonder. It seemed like Gribbohm was so driven to win that he left the carnival and came back with $2,600 which was his life savings. Despite the fact that he tried to win everything back through double or nothing, he wound up losing the amount in question. It's funny to know that he was given a giant stuffed banana as compensation of sorts but would anyone expect that he'd file a police report?
While it's understandable that he was upset, you have to take into consideration that he had a responsibility to use his savings in the right way. Many people believe that these carnival games are rigged, so ultimately Gribbohm was no one to blame but himself. It would have been unfounded for him to utilize debt services for a matter that he was fully responsible for. Even reputable agencies the likes of Rapid Recovery would say that there is no inkling of a strong case here.
For those who want to look into this story in greater detail, you would probably learn that College Humor went so far as to offer the buy the giant banana from Gribbohm. This would be done, though, only if enough likes were given. Generally, the fans did not seem to be onboard and instead voiced their grievances on this movement which seemed to reward, to put it mildly, an out-of-control spendthrift. Seeing as how they're justified in their disputes, I find it difficult to offer a rebuttal.
