I can see someone getting carried away or going overboard w/their spending. I can also see them hiding their situation from friends/family. However, to just ignore/deny the problems to yourself like they don't exist or will go away is just beyond me.

I can understand that too. But there are some people who do that because, quite frankly, it's just too much to face sometimes. Who really wants to spend their day thinking about past due bills--especially bills that are just SO high, you can't do nothin' about them anyway so....you get my point.
I'm not excusing it because it's a really irresponsible way to treat your debts. Sometimes you just get into that "eff it" mode and voila! The bill is in the trash...out of sight, out of mind. It makes you feel better temporarily because you don't have to think about it. But best believe that it will come back to HAUNT HAUNT HAUNT you afterward, especially when you're actually trying to do better.
I guess I can see both ends of this, because I've been just like her.
