I resent the implication that you know ANYTHING about how I lived or enjoyed my life.
Let them spend themselves into abject poverty, lose their home and job and be out on the street.
I don't think you are listening to yourself.
You are not listening to yourself, either. First you say I don't know anything about you. Then you say you know these people are going to "spend themselves into abject poverty." It can't be both ways. You advocate teaching people how to be responsible. So, I'm quite sure, do the rest of us. However, despite all of this, you still feel that YOU have the right to dictate how others live. You don't. Nor do I. The OP asked for opinions. They were given yet you feel that your "opinion" trumps all it should be taken for fact. It's not. It's an opinion. So if hamburger and tea is enough to make you happy, more power to you. If someone else chooses to take some risk to enjoy life a little more, more power to them. If someone is willing to take a huge risk, well that's his business ONLY because there's no guarantee that YOU will always be solvent, no matter what "good decisions" you make along the way. Illness, job loss, accidents and unforeseen circumstances all play a part. You live your way, I live mine. And neither of us has the right to judge.
