*sigh*... so true... a lot of people who aren't used to handling lots of money, can't. It's not just bums, or even education... it's just money-smarts.

People, when they see that much money, or have that much money, spend more as befits their "station" in life. I've heard people complain that you can't live here on just 30,000 pesos a month or 50,000 pesos a month. Tosh! Of course you can! Just don't try to live like a person who makes 50,000 a month! :rofl01:

It's the social expectation... that if you have this much money... this is how you should live.

I don't believe that that bum deserves to be a bum forever... try giving him 100,000 dollars now and see how he spends it, now that he's learned his lesson.
