Intended message:
Love conquers all, good triumphs over evil, etc.
Unintended message:
Sometimes people do things even when they know it might be a bad idea. But if we're lucky/kind/beautiful enough, someone will come along and save the day!
How it keeps us in debt:
None of us are dumb. We know we shouldn't take on debt. But deep down, I think many of us believe something will come along to save us. An inheritance, a six-figure job, a wealthy husband or wife … Even if we don't consciously admit it, we believe it just might happen.
Intended message:
Sometimes you have to break the rules, especially if it involves helping people who are being treated unfairly.
Unintended message:
We deserve to have the same things as the wealthy. So what if we have to do it in less-than-honest ways? It's OK as long as everyone benefits.
How it keeps us in debt:
We grow up thinking, "That's not fair!" every time we see someone who has more than we do. We get sucked into advertising that tells us we can have all those things, too — it doesn't matter how broke we are, because we can use convenient financing! We tell ourselves it will benefit us and/or our families in the long run
Summary:
Aladdin is this vagabond who finds a lamp with a magical genie inside. He wishes to become a prince so he can make Princess Jasmine fall in love with him. The evil sorcerer, Jafar, steals the lamp and exposes Aladdin as a fraud. Jafar also makes himself ruler of the world. With the help of his friends, Aladdin saves the day, and everyone forgets he wasn't a real prince because he's just so darn nice. He marries Jasmine, and they live happily ever after.
Intended message:
Don't judge a book by its cover.
Unintended message:
If you want to be accepted, you have to pretend to be something you're not.
How it keeps us in debt:
So much of the urge to spend comes from trying to be like everyone else. Look at your credit card statements — are you using credit to buy clothing, finance vacations, and furnish your expensive home? Many people feel the need to keep up appearances even when they know they can't afford it.
