There are a few manage-your-money reality shows here in Canada that always begin with the financial consultant going over the books and pointing out how much, in an average month, the people on the show just waste. It's stunning, and it's made me rethink my own impulse purchases! Sometimes the problem people have is simply "not enough income for ordinary expenses," but most of the time the show depicts people who *should* have enough to live on, but have bad habits/make poor choices. Or very young people whose income dictates living thriftily, but whose families indulge them, which creates bad habits and a feeling of being owed things they don't need and can't afford.

My parents bailed me out of a scary financial scrape and also helped me tremendously when I went back to school to change careers. I still feel a little guilty about it, but they won't let me pay them back. So now I just make sure I live like an adult, and if someone in the family needs money now, I do what I can to offer help *so my parents don't do as much.* I am very, very grateful for times I had help, but I tried not to treat that as owed to me.

Similar deal though one more my fault. I made some dumb decisions in early college and was basically bleeding money (though there was a hidden charge the atm never told me about but that was only a tiny part of it really)

I got a bailout. Once. My parents are very kind. But I also knew that could never, ever happen again cause holy shit how embarrassing. It was good for me though. I've happily reached the point I can help them outsometimes. They'd never let me pay it back directly, but in other ways I do what I can.
