Businesses Following Trend Of Consumers
April 7, 2009
Tonight’s post revolves around the thought process of people not wanting to make good on their debt. The notion has become a socially acceptable norm that consumers can have accounts fall delinquent but apparently a new trend is taking place across our country. This new trend involves businesses not paying their bills and is leading to an increase in third party collections.
Prior to the times we are in consumers have always been typically slow to pay their bills but now businesses are following the same trend. My question is why are Americans failing to make good on their commitments? I am just like anyone else who owes monthly bills but I do not turn on the news hear the latest economic fiascos and think to myself, “I don’t think I’m going to pay my bills.” Yet I feel as if I am the outcast in society because I am concerned with paying my bills.
I’ve worked two jobs, I’ve cut back on costs where I can and I’ve honored the commitments to my creditors. However people across the fruited plain are throwing in the towel refusing to step up to the plate to make good on their promises. A wise person once told me that successful people have two things in common; they do whatever it takes, every time. Now is the time for these dead beats to do just that, do whatever it takes every time on their bills. Economic crisis solved.
