This isn't too be smug against those who have real affordability issues through no fault of their own. Just that your decisions are yours, and many many people made a lot of poor financial decisions over the past decade. To say "they were told to" by people who's careers depend on them saying these things for business, welll...

The cost of living for essential items has ballooned that’s not a choice.
