Nope. I have little sympathy for people who are struggling by their own hand. If you are maxed out in debt due to some catastrophe, medical issue, natural disaster, etc., that's one thing. If, however, you are facing foreclosure because you bought a house you couldn't possibly afford and choose to live beyond your means, that's your problem.
