I know a couple of people who have deep financial problems, they know the problems are there, but they wait to fix them believing that some kind of white knight will swoop in and rescue them from their misery of debt. These are the same folks that are waiting for a bailout. I know one gentleman who can't find a job and refuses to take part time work because it won't pay all his bills - so, instead of paying some, he sits and waits to either go under completely or be rescued by someone else. That "someone will save me" attitude is baloney - the only way to get there is to pull yourself up and do the hard work.
