One of the problems with debt that I witness over & over is how people seem to get demoralized by it once they're into it a certain amount, after which they seem to have little resistance to adding more and more.

"What's another $1k on the line of credit... a drop in the bucket. It hardly makes a difference."

Corollary: getting out of debt (from the average level) seems insurmountable without going to extremes. (Or what the average person would consider extreme, eg. "WHAT! CANCEL MY SATELLITE/CABLE TV?!?")
