Are People Using the "Crash" as an Excuse?

I got to wondering yesterday, is it easier to blame an external “condition” for the things that might be going wrong in our lives rather than take responsibility ourselves?

For example, let’s say you have lived over here in Spain for a year or two, you’ve spent your savings and still haven’t found employment, now you’ve run out of money and you need to go back to the UK. Is it the crisis that has caused this? Or is it because you’re spent more time on your bum in a bar than down the local cultural centre learning Spanish and making contacts?

Or perhaps you’re over here with kids, they haven’t settled, you haven’t made friends and can’t find a job. Is it easier to blame the crisis or take responsibility for an ill-conceived move?

The “property crash”, the “crisis”, increasing costs… Do you think some people may use these issues as an excuse when things aren’t right for them, or they made the wrong decision? Or am I just a cynic?

Let me know what you think! <p class=”MsoNormal”><a class=”comments-link” href=”#comments”>Add your comments below…</a></p>
