I have a few friends and family members who are in tough financial situations. Credit card/student loan debt, and horrible spending habits. They have this circular habit of spending more than they make further increasing their debt.
Some have even asked me for help, but without following through on what we discuss. It kills me seeing those I love making decisions that put themselves further behind.
I'm thankful that I'm financially literate live a life of low time preference. Has anyone out there found a way to get through to these people? Specifically loved ones? #asknostr

I haven’t. If you figure that out, please let me know.
If they can't get "spend less than you earn" there's not much you can do for them. It's not complicated.
Make them do a bunch of humiliating stuff and throw money at them like a stripper.
