12. Its just hard to have much sympathy anyone that has a good high paying job and have not had any

major problems like job loss or being unemployed but they still decide to only pay the barest minimum as that will not pay off the debt any time soon and then they whine about still being in debt when its their own decision to only make the barest minimum payment.
Now that aside there are ones I do have sympathy for and those are the ones who were paying more than the minimum on time every month in and effort to pay off the debt but then through no fault of their own they lost their job or something else major came along in life and fucked them over and they keep trying to get out from under the debt but cant, those are the ones that "do" deserve debt help because they are trying but just cannot get a break.
