Why is that wrong? Surely I am entitled to my opinion, however judgmental it may be. Also, it's barely an opinion at all. It's practically a fact based on the information in the article alone that a number of extremely bad decisions led to that woman's unfortunate situation.
Let me put it another way - I personally have never met a single person who was responsible, level-headed, and made rational decisions with their money ever wind up in a scenario even remotely like this woman's.

What does this prove? Those people wouldn't be hanging out on HN for sure! Edit: But you're right, you're not wrong for having your opinion.
- turc1656 9y agoIt goes to show that what I said isn't an "attitude" or mindset, but rather a simple observation of reality. Mainly that decisions have consequences. What I said is nothing new, yet you say that it is wrong to have that attitude. Meanwhile basically everything we have ever seen supports the claim that if you prepare and plan for the future you are in nearly every circumstance far better off in the long run.
- frgtpsswrdlame 9y agoWell no, it shows that your reality is rather small. Maybe you should meet people outside of the normal circles you hang in. There are plenty of people who are responsible with their monety and yet have been crushed by circumstance.
