I guess this is the only way for the stupid to learn not to live beyond their means. Credit has it's place but it is really only for short term convenience and things like house mortgages, business loans etc. The dumb are learning the consequences of buying everything you want with the equity in your home or the credit card you never could hope to ever pay off.
I really have no sympathy. I have ALWAYS lived within my means, even when I had next to nothing. The funny thing about living within your means and being careful about what you buy is one day you wake up and you have a ton of money saved up....so much so you can now actually buy pretty much what you want within reason with little financial impact.
These people are all a product of the "Now" generation, for many of them there isn't going to be much of a later.
