Business of Poverty

In the article, The Poverty Business, Brian Grow and Keith Epstein describe how people get stuck paying more for things on credit. My first reaction to this article was, "it's up to the person to make their own judgment, there's no reason to feel disappointed because they should have read the whole agreement and did the research on the product they are buying". Its their own fault for getting themselves into trouble because they did not read or ask questions to specific life changing choices. However, I do understand that people have to make last minuet decisions and end with something they didn't know. For example my dad can relate to these people who got duped, because he did not do the research and because the suppliers were very convincing. My dad agreed to buy a timeshare and give them 2000$ a month. The worst part to this example is that my dad was also with my mom, and as much as my parents said no to the idea, they ended up signing and paying.
I get people are evil and they want your income because, "it's a dog-eat-dog world", but to use the resources like friends and family and chat with them can help anyone's choice before making a life changing decision.
I also wrote that "jobs are for teens not adults, careers are for adults". By this comment I think if a person isn't organized, then why make unprofitable decisions. In addition to people's choices, what they do reflects on what they have done, and by having these evil suppliers trick them is letting them fall into areas they did not see coming, such as moving or doing illegal things for money.
People have to read, because if they do nothing, then everyone will continue to let this happen and eventually it will backfire on the suppliers. Thus we're livings in a “dog-eat-dog” world, why not bite back.
