Taking Responsibility

In a time when it seems like we're hearing a lot of blame shifting and people not taking responsibility for their actions, I thought it was reasonable to post this, whether people responded or not.

I admit that I am responsible for taking on a loan for a car that I really did not need. My car that I had before broke down, and instead of just getting it fixed I let myself be deluded into thinking that it would be better to just get a new car. It was a stupid mistake. I also let myself get into some pretty stupid credit card debt.

So there it is. I don't say this to say I'm asking for money, because I'm not by any means. I just feel I have heard so many people deny responsibility for all this mess. And if the situation is one because of people putting stuff on credit more than they should have, then I have to be willing to say I am one of those people. That's all I'm trying to say in this.
