To this woman’s credit, she blames herself. I’m not yet 40, and I’d been hearing for years that we weren’t going to enjoy the standard of living our parents did. They were right; we just didn’t want to hear it, and the moneylenders were happy to oblige. It was no accident that they tightened up bankruptcy eligibility a few years back; they saw the bubble coming...
Frankly, I don't care if she's able to buy anything beyond a bottle of water again. At her financial state maybe she should start sucking up at a water fountain.
