Yes, they are being responsible by calling for help. But when they lay out their problem, it is often clear that they have not been responsible up until that point.

I truly wonder sometimes about the folks calling in for the "Can I Afford It?" segment. What the heck are some of these people thinking? Like the guy last night who earned about $35,000 but wanted to buy a $45,000 car.
