I agree with you Exmechanic.

Wow, that's harsh. Just because they spend their money the way that they want and the way that works for them doesn't make them idiots.

No No

sorry i guess i'm just jealous; that much money would be just enough to get me out of debt and I could buy a house so my kids could have their own rooms, finally.  Makes me feel like others pee away opportunites that I would give anything to have.

I agree with both points of view.  Like GamerMom, I believe it's important to save your money and/or pay debts.  On the other hand, it's none of my business what another person does with his/her money.  Once a woman told me if she ever won the lottery, the first thing she'd do is go to a plastic surgeon and get a face lift, a tummy tuck and a breast lift.  I said "Make sure you claim your prize before you go to the doctor, so you'll look like the woman in the surveillance video."

LOL true!!!! that's a good idea to have plastic surgery AFTER so you won't be recognized
