    Nah, they decided to buy a more affordable car with only a 3-star crash rating because they decided to get stressed about their only financing option being complete dogshit because of a wrecked economy, because they decided to have a job that required going into the office.

    Sure, but nobody would choose to be in a car crash.

    Bro chose to go into debt. Big difference.

        “I chose [X] of my own free will. Now I’m unhappy with that choice. Fix it for me.” No.

        “Events outside my control have made things hard. Help?” Yes.

        See the fucking difference?

      Bro chose to get an education. Big difference.

        He chose to get an education he couldn’t afford, so he took out loans. Now he is in debt.

        Either he did this with his eyes open, in which case it’s his problem to solve,

        OR

        He did this WITHOUT knowing the consequences, in which case he should have fucking read the fine print and it’s his problem to solve.

        I agree the cost of education is out of control, but nobody forced him to do it. He chose to. Now he can deal with it.

    Probably them choosing to do the thing. Someone doing a PhD might be hoping to land a good job later on and be able to through that pay off the debt. Or they want to pursue their passion, even if it means debt. It’s a decision to go for those. Could’ve gone to trade school.
