As for who should be blamed for people making bad decisions, there's plenty to go around. Yes, a consumer should be responsible for not overspending and digging a hole. And the people who provide public advice on the topic generally do a horribly incomplete job of such. And then there's me, out on the side, making tools which ease the redemption process so surely I'm part of the problem, too.
I have no problem with Chris Elliott saying that the people selling the CCs need to be more responsible. Consumers need to do the same as well.
Very thoughtful answer. Too often today, the attitude is "who, besides me, is to blame for [PUT NAME OF PROBLEM HERE]?" We all generally have some responsibility, even if it isn't very much, and we'd all be better off making sure we've solved that part of the problem before beating on others.
That's not the world nowadays, however.
