That would be interesting if credit card companies had to put health warnings on the back of their credit cards.

• Marital Divorce

  USE THIS CREDIT CARD AT YOUR OWN RISK

People think of financial maturity like health food. "That's old fashioned, we have new ways in the year 2005." People rely on medicines that are developed to cure problems that have cropped up in our 21st century, because of our current lifestyle.

In the beginning, when God created Adam and Eve, they had a pretty simple life style. Adam and Eve didn't have credit cards, ipods, electronics of all types, BMW's. They weren't bombarded by advertising. They couldn't have lived our current North American lifestyle if they wanted to.

People look on credit and consumerism as the lifestyle, because it's relatively new and exciting. They're not looking at the risks associated with this lifestyle.

In my opinion, "NO, IT'S NOT OK TO GET DIVORCED OR SEPARATED BECAUSE OF DEBT / MONEY PROBLEMS!" It's not really ok to have prolonged arguments between spouses because of the pressure that debt puts you under. Especially if the debt was caused by irresponsible spending. ie.. if you don't need what you purchase and it's going to cause fights later on... that's irresponsible spending. Don't buy it!

There should be more discussion in the market place about the risks of credit usage. Clinical studies of what happens when you owe way more than you're able to pay back in the next 20 years. They can be just as deadly and serious as some other types of activities.

Here's a site that I found when searching for "clinical studies" people in debt on google.com
