Maybe they should have interviewed me as a counterpoint: haven't made a car payment since sometime in the early '80s, telecommute to work, when I do drive it's mostly in a car that gets over 70 mpg - heck, even the truck gets over 25 mpg, and that's loaded with firewood.

It's all about choices: if he's stuck in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging :-)
