If it was his money and his beer, as I pointed out.
The real point is, it is easy to judge but you don't really know the full circumstances. As usual, I'm going to pull from my own experiences since my ex-husband has been unemployed (since Sept. 29, 2009 now). He held off as long as he could before selling his beloved red convertible mustang that he only drives 3 months a year because he really thought things would get better and he considered that car an investment. He had savings, lots of it, but after 14-15 months of being unemployed, it's gone. He's dipping into his retirement now. When he called me to tell me that he was going to have to cancel his cable/internet and that meant I would probably need to take the kids full time because they wouldn't want to live with him part time without cable/internet, I took over paying his cable/internet bill. He'd been paying taxes for 30 years before he hit this hard time. There are probably people out there who are saying "Why does he still have cable/internet if he's so broke?"
You just don't know.
