Speaking on behalf of all procrastinators everywhere, I have to say that the article from Psychology Today on procrastination looks helpful...I think I'll read it later.

@gniterobot: Controlling debt is an essential part of life, whether you're rich or poor.
Managing finances responsibly is about educating yourself and maintaining some discipline. Get good at these two things and you'll have no problem controlling your financial demons (easier said than done).
No one else will make your money grow as well as yourself, because you have complete vested interest.
@SOhp101: I am in fine standing. But like most college grads I've made a lot of mistakes.
My comments were about those who seem to have never made a financial mistake in their life and always have harsh words for the articles about the kid who owes a couple grand for buying too many burritos.
Really I am just agreeing with the article. When I was climbing my way out of debt it was hard to listen to everyone go on and on about how well they are doing, it makes you think you're an idiot since you got yourself into the mess. But it turns out, behind closed doors, most people have made similar or worse mistakes.
I actually never had much trouble, but mostly because I had a lot of help in school from family, but I could imagine that if I didn't have that help that things would be really tough for me. So I have a lot of sympathy for grads with big debt.

If I judged myself by all the geniuses who have made millions and never carried a debt in their life in the comments I'd probably think I was the worst person alive.
