My brother looked at my debt spreadsheet and laughed

Last weekend I showed my brother my full debt tracker, $47k across 3 cards and a personal loan. He just snorted and said "that's cute, try $120k in student loans" like mine didn't matter at all. We were at his kitchen table and I felt like such a loser for even bringing it up. Has anyone else had someone totally dismiss your struggle just because theirs is 'worse'?

Maybe his debt is the shield he hides behind so he doesn't have to face it.

Yeah, that shield must be great at keeping bill collectors away too.
