    Personal finance is not the most popular activity even in the US, is it?

Well, the knee-jerk liberal keyboard-jockey reaction to any sort of regulation is, "But the poor can't afford that! It prevents their access to (insert name of service here)."

Which is patently bullshit. If you have a car, you have far larger expenses on far more regular basis. Coming up with $50 every 5 years is not a tall hurdle. So I wanted to stifle that particular complaint before it came up.
