I can't tell if you're really meaning to say that people down on their luck are there because they deserve it. It's just not that black-and-white.
EDIT: I read this wrong. I agree with what you're saying, "related to" would have made more sense as "leads to".

Why is this a problem if they can afford to take on the debt? Are you suggesting that debt is evil?
EDIT: Because I misunderstood the first portion, I misunderstood this too - sorry.
- esotericn 8y agoNo, it's the other way around. People fail, and then there's a downward spiral, because if you're poor you eat bad food and have no time and can't _think_. That is to say, there wasn't necessarily 'choice' involved (beyond in some cases an initial choice which was made without full vision of the future).
- batty_alex 8y agoThanks for pointing this out, the wording from OP's post was a bit confusing to me. This was my retort, that it's not black-and-white that poor decisions were made and someone is now a missed paycheck away from living on the streets.
