      Nah, they decided to buy a more affordable car with only a 3-star crash rating because they decided to get stressed about their only financing option being complete dogshit because of a wrecked economy, because they decided to have a job that required going into the office.

      Sure, but nobody would choose to be in a car crash.

      Bro chose to go into debt. Big difference.

        If that’s how you see our familiar relations sure, you’re your own individual. But boy I’d hate to be your family member.

          “I chose [X] of my own free will. Now I’m unhappy with that choice. Fix it for me.” No.

          “Events outside my control have made things hard. Help?” Yes.

          See the fucking difference?

            The difference is not my point at all.

            If my brother, at a very young age, had made the reasonable decision of pursuing higher education as a path in life, and due to a wide variety of circumstances is in financial trouble and I could help…

            Guess what, I’m helping. I do not give a fuck if there’s a difference, my guy. And I also know my brother would stop in the middle of a career defining work meeting and come rescue me if I was in trouble.

            And I wouldn’t trade that kind of relationship for your world view.
