So very true.
OP, this isn't directed at you. Just a general comment. How many times has someone posted their situation here and responses have suggested selling a car, moving to a cheaper place, getting a 2nd job only to have the poster reply with a slew of excuses of why they can't do any of those things.
I see the same mentality at work every day. Patients come in complaining of various self-induced medical problems but refuse to stop the behavior that is causing them. I read a report just today estimating that 75% of ALL medical costs in this country are spent treating chronic, PREVENTABLE illness. The whole healthcare reform debate would be unnecessary if people would just stop being their own worst enemies. The same goes for personal finance.
