If You Ignore It, It Will Go Away!

I think we all know people like this! I don't know what you can do to help her. Perhaps one day noone will help her out when she's stuck and she'll suddenly realise how stupid she's been.

I can kind of relate to that. I wrote about a friend and her hubby who live beyond their means. They had a huge cell phone bill and chose not to pay the bill. I don't think my friends are partying, but they aren't very responsible. They will spend their money on stuff before they pay their bills.

I do not know any who would do that. It would seem rather silly and besides the credit companies would eventually catch up with her. Really she should be on a budget, because if she blows all her money, there will be nothing left.

Well, I ignored this latest glitch with myLot, and it seems to have gone away...

I'm not close to anyone like that but I have met that type. They have been taught at home and by the media that life is short and they deserve everything, no one should suffer. I remember a while back I started a discussion on whether one should sell off their possessions and take other drastic steps to avoid accepted public assistance; I was surprised how many people insisted that no one should have to do that, that television was a necessity and that smart phones and computers and tablets are basic life essentials. People nowadays think that people should be able to go out and have a good time even if they can't afford it and the thought of sacrificing partying for a year to save money horrifies them. This person you're talking about is probably one of those. Even older people are adopting that attitude now.

is it one of 3 of my kids you know? i have 3 kids out of 5 like that so yes i know them. they are grown to!! 32 yrs, 38 yrs and 45yrs! some never learn.

That guys is irresponsible! They should think about the bills they made. I'm not that kind of person. They should think the people who will shoulder if incase they won't think about it.

I do know someone. He happens to be my brother in law. He has been separated from his wife for 8 years now. and not once did he even extended help in raising the child. I think, that even if his ex wife didn't ask for support, he being the father, should at least offer something. There had been Christmases and birthdays that the child didn't hear from his father. Now, this brother in law of mine goes out every night hooking up on different girls!

How irresponsible the action of your friend is. The more that her bills will pile up if she always do that. Penalties will be imposed on unpaid bills thus enlarging the billed amount.

If we encounter difficulties then we try to ignore it maybe works,but if we try to ignore responsibilities and that's not a nice thing to do.I also met someone who has the same problem with people you mentioned,i feel speechless about that and hope they "realize"about that.They are getting rid of rights.

I can see lots of people who are like that, I am even acquainted to a few. What's even irritating is that after all the partying and shopping spree that they do (even brag about it shamelessly), they will come to me with a sob story on how they have bills that they cannot pay. Once I managed to say that I can't see how they manage to party and ignore the much important bills. I was told that it is the only thing that can save them from depression. I think it's such a twisted excuse. Nope, not buying it!
