It seems to me that it involves a complete lack of hope for the future. Why work hard or save money if you expect nothing from the future? In order words, why delay gratification? I suspect he is surrounded by people who think just like he does. I'll bet he plays the lottery a lot, too.

It's strange that people think that they are entitled to a certain lifestyle - assuming a $35 breakfast/smokes - is a lifestyle. Smoking alone (assuming a pack a day) is taking at least 5% of his gross. And, cut yourself a little slack on the coffee fix. It still costs money if you make it at home, not as much, but it's not free. I bet he also has cable and a cell phone.

Someone making $10 an hour not working overtime should definitely avoid spending $35 on junk food. Sounds like he needs a budget. Haha…that guy sounds ridiculous.
