And paragraphs like this:

"It’s like saying to the bank I’d rather not pay my mortgage payments, default and be black-listed (affecting my future earnings potential) — even though I am currently able to borrow all the money I need to make those payments at zero interest cost to me — because I would rather not owe even more money to what are most likely members of my own family, who aren’t really all that bothered if I don’t pay them back because they know what’s bad for me is bad for them as well. (And guess what, they have — for generational reasons — over-accumulated those sums anyway.)"
