  They mean the advice does not acknowledge the risk of going into debt then becoming depressed

      The post is saying that the helpful advice is about making choices and omits things outside of your control, like depression, that can lead to the same result.

      It isn’t saying to not be depressed.

        It’s a sarcastic take on common advice. It’s implied by the inanity of the suggestion. Most people got it, wasn’t something you saw. You’ll get it next time :).

      Second degree‽

      Those are rookie numbers. You gotta bump that up to third at least.
