And there's plenty of arguments that economists and finance people can make as to why that is and that there is good that it does bring.
But it does feel sometimes that the people who need a break the most aren't getting that break.
It sounds like they've navigated the situation as well as you can and that they're digging out.
Crawling out of a debt hole is one of the hardest things you can do because you found yourself in that hole because you didn't have enough money in the first place.
And now you have to find not only enough money to live, but even more money that you didn't have before to start paying down this debt.
And that can be a vicious cycle.
Yes.
And if you study pricing, which is one of the areas that I do, price fairness is a big determinant of how people feel about the price of something, right?
A favorite example is Coca-Cola experimented with doing dynamic pricing with some of their machines.
And the hotter it was outside, the more they charged for beverages out of the machine.
And people were
furious about it because they felt like that they were being exploited.
They felt it was unfair.
Now there is a lot about dealing with debt and purveyors of debt that can feel either unfair and or maybe disingenuous because it's very complex.
A lot of things are buried in the fine print.
So it can feel like maybe it is unfair and that maybe even people are out to get us.
There are good purveyors of these services and products out there, and you can find them.
But on the other hand, too, sometimes, again, we're just unlucky.
And it sounds like Anna, unfortunately, she just ran into a very unlucky thing, even though she and her husband were doing things the right way.
Absolutely.
