Blogging Away Debt Our Journeys to a Debt-Free Life

by Tricia

I am super tired tonight, so this is just a quick post to give everyone the results of questions that I posted earlier. They were questions covered on tonight’s 20/20 special and the results are taken from the program (not quite sure how to cite it…).

What group gives the largest percentage of its income to charity…upper, middle or lower class?

Lower class. More specifically, the working poor.

What group gives more to charity…liberals or conservatives?

Conservatives.

Which city is stingier…San Franciso, California or Sioux Falls, South Dakota?

San Francisco, California

I’m hoping to wake up a little early in the morning, so I can type up a few more things mentioned during the program as well as my thoughts. I found the show to be quite interesting.

Those questions will be answered tonight on a John Stossel special report called “Cheap in America”. Check your local listings – on the East coast it is showing at 10:00 p.m. on ABC.

I was given a heads-up on this special on Good Morning America this morning, so I already know the answers to the questions above. I’ll tell everyone the answers tomorrow if you miss the show…but I don’t want to spoil it for those who will be watching.

They claimed the answers are surprising and I can see how they could be. But when you think about it…some of it makes sense.

I plan on watching, and I’ll give a recap probably tonight or tomorrow. I am very curious if debt will be mentioned at all because I think it could be a major factor in the answer to the first question above.
