Agreed completely. I've spent some money on drugs and smoking, but that was always as a treat to myself and budgeted for. If I couldn't afford it, I wouldn't get it.
Here's a fun story! I used to have a friend that never went out with us, never wanted to chip in money for anything, if we went on vacation we couldn't even spend one night having a decent dinner, etc. This is all fine in my book. I don't mind living a cheap life. However, she would constantly complain about not having any money at all or complain that we had so much (which we didn't, we were just smarter students). Meanwhile, she's spending at least 50 euros a week on drinking and smoking alone. Alongside that, some drug usage that we don't know if she paid for or mooched off of people. We stopped talking to that person because she could not take any responsibility for her actions or even acknowledge the financial consequences of what she was doing. I suppose her initially lying to us about a lot of this didn't help her case. If you're gonna be wasting a bunch of money like that, don't blame others for your lack of financial stability.
Yeah i mean i have never smoked and the drugs i tried all made me really sick so I've never spent money on those things. I'm also a slow social drinker, i don't drink to get a buzz (though it's happened plenty on it's own xD) so I dunno how these people spend so much money on these things when even I was struggling as a poor student without all my money going there.
Like i paid for my internet and an MMO subscription and that kept me entertained for years for £9 a monthish and people would like take offence that i was spending money on that and maybe grumping when i didn't have money for something but they'd expect me to come out drinking heavily every other day 0.o
