By the way, completely OFF TOPIC, but I've been thinking of much of your recent series of rants.
When you have some time you wish to waste (given existential philosophy) you may want to look up Jean-Paul Sartre's concept of "bad faith." In a nutshell, it isn't about religion, but rather personal responsibility. Current Sartre-ists contend that our "over medicalized" Western culture is all about using medical diagnosis to explain away errors in judgment and personal culpability, rather than taking responsibility for our actions.
Now, while I disagree with a number of your points regarding finances, opportunity, and bankruptcy, I do see that the overall trend to expect someone or something to arrange a bailout is related to a similar interpretation of "bad faith."
Just a thought and research project to go with your Lindts or truffles.
