17. What completely idiotic advice.
Get rid of paid for belongings and use the money to pay down the credit cards?

Look, if we are all going to hell in a handbasket I can promise you a paid for boat is much more valuable than a zero credit card balance. Throw the banks under the bus and trash the hell out of your credit score before you dump a piece of hardware that might actually be of some use to put food on your family.

Sorry, but as someone near the bottom of the US economic ladder I know darn well the banks won't blink twice about throwing my ass under the bus so they can keep their boats.
