When you are looking to make a purchase, what do you consider to be "large"? We have some new surveys released this past week which point out a couple massive red flags within people's personal finances. If you're looking to build wealth for yourself and take control of the system (and make it work for you), then you need to be honest with yourself about where you fall in with these statistics. I have nothing but respect for you if you are currently waving a red flag. You can't fix a problem unless you first admit there is a problem, so let's take a look and see how we can all make our situations better!
