People can and will hurt themselves by repeating the same mistakes because it’s the familiar habit and doing something new - even if it’s for your own good - is scarier. Been there, done that, plenty of times.

i know too many people who are hurting themselves because they genuinely can't afford iphones or macbooks; but they keep borrowing money to buy another one each time something happens to their current one and only because "it just works"
