    Yeah I’m with you.

    An extra $100k debt as a young dad will absolutely change your retirement dramatically.

    Yes this guy fucked up but the detrimental outcome is not commensurate with the fuck up.

    It would be trivial for Google to detect that something is likely wrong with this account, and not doing so is predatory. I’m sure they make many millions in this way every year.
