One of the reasons I find it necessary to tighten the reins on frivalous spending is the discovery (long overdue) that many people seem to find the concept of settling their debts foreign.
Not to sound arrogant but in recent years I have helped a number of people keep their heads above water which has resulted in starting to drown myself. Just how many times do I need to be screwed over (for lack of a better expression) before I realise that many are losers and users who will take, and keep on taking, until they have drained you of every ounce of compassion and sympathy, not to mention cost you financially. Wanting to believe the best of people has proved detrimental and left me sadly cynical with the inclination to stop worrying about anyone but myself.
Not to mention wondering just what is so great about playing by the rules. Even in my sheltered little corner of the world I see people ignoring convention and decency, blatantly stretching the boundaries to suit themselves with absolutely no consideration for anyone else or what is even acceptable or legal. Time passes and they get caught up to finally, and then moan about the repercussions without taking an ounce of personal responsibility. If they're really lucky they'll manage to persuade others that they deserve sympathy for a situation of their own making and get a whole new set of suckers to bail them out.
My tiara is tarnished because I will no longer be silent and gracefully bow out, choosing instead to rail against those I feel deserve to be confronted.
