need to immediately make necessary life changes as your current lifestyle is not sustainable.

Oh yea, ill just down size my house. Looks at the housing market nope.

Oh maybe I could just sell it and rent an apartment, maybe even make a little on the sale to pay off this debt looks at rental prices oh that's not happening either

Ok that's fine, I'll just cut eating out and piece meal my way out of this debt...oh I already cut that, oh and grocery prices just went up...

Ah shit while I was writing that up my HVAC system just died andddd there goes another 2-3k towards my debt! Wooo!

Your comment is just as bad and annoying as those "Just stop buying avocado toast! Just budget!" Boomers

Sometimes the "necessary life changes" turn out to be a revolution to overthrow the current system.

I mean, filing for bankruptcy might be less painful than hoping someday you can outrun the interest on these credit cards.

So what's your proposed solution if you find that persons comment to be bad and annoying? Racking up $100k in payday loans at 200% APR isn't going to get you out of that situation.
