Be a responsible adult and pay back what you borrowed! The problem is most people don't want to live off the bare minimums. Most people could move back in with their parents, get rid of the cell phone, sell the gar and buy a POS, get rid of the gym membership, your subscriptions to magazines and Netflix, stop eating out and start eating rice and beans, get rid of your cable, etc. Why make hard decisions and do what needs to be done to meet your obligations when you can keep all the "extra" goodies and have someone else foot your bill

And no jamesnobrakes, I'm not in my 40s and don't remember how it was, I'm in my late 20s. I didn't take out loans, and the only debt in my name is my house. That's the good thing about not making stupid financial decisions, you don't find yourself backed into a corner when people start asking for their money back. But why should I complain when I did the right thing and have to pay for everyone else's mistakes.
