Always in moderation. All of us has its own lifestyle that some might needs a hepty amount of money. But as you did it excessively, i think its more one addiction, well yeah it will consider waste of time and money.
Addictions that are not on a positive trajectory may end up being a waste of time and money. But if you are addicted to good things, I don't think any time will be wasted like in the work example. Because those who are addicted to continuing to work will definitely get very good rewards for themselves even though everyone also has their own style of working in life. But if the addiction you are referring to is for something that is not good, it is clear that the time and money they use will be wasted which in the end they will find it difficult in their own life.

Networking is good but on the other hand not everything can be done like that because there are some conditions where it is also not very useful and it will only be an option.
Looking for relationships is actually a lot of ways that can be done not just having a drink with some relatives or friends who have better conditions.
I think there is no need to force it when it is difficult even though it can still be done but when there are other ways that can be used why use this method.
Our conditions are difficult and don't add to the burden of difficulty for yourself just to build relationships in a way that actually can still be done with others.
There are various ways to find relationships, although the majority think that we often meet them over coffee because at that time they have the opportunity to talk about important matters, including discussing business and other job opportunities.Looking for relationships is actually a lot of ways that can be done not just having a drink with some relatives or friends who have better conditions.

Everyone has a different way of approaching their relationship but don't force them to follow their lifestyle, their cost of living is very expensive and the right solution must show your skills that are useful for the job needed then they will recruit you to work for their company.
Indeed, in this case, everyone's perspective will have a lot of differences and I also will not emphasize that it is the wrong way, it's just that in conditions when we live in difficulties, we actually don't need to force ourselves to build relationships in a barbaric way because we have to think about the long term.
What needs to be considered is the right momentum and we also certainly build relationships not temporarily so in this case it is important to assess what is best to do.
Your lifestyles is totally dependent on your spending habits ans it is not necessary that Rich spends more and poor spends less , some rich people are very cautious spenders rather than that they try to invest their money in some profitable project .
Sometimes poor and average income groups are more carers spenders they waste money on so called fun and drinking which results in loosing everything they had .

I agree, it's honestly more on the mindset. I know a lot of rich people who would rather focus on investing and keeping their money flowing, while there are those average to below average (poor) financial status people who are spending too much that their loans are piling up. Lifestyle is up to the mindset and attitude of an individual.
Like when we see many people who are in the lower strata sometimes they have a hedon lifestyle when compared to the rich people. This is not without reason, they want to try a group that they cannot get which makes them force their will by doing some unnecessary actions just because of their ego such as buying luxurious clothes or shopping not in accordance with their financial conditions.
Curiosity like this is what sometimes changes a person's mindset. Indeed, not all people whose living conditions are difficult or can be said to be poor are all like this but the average can be witnessed is like that.
I don't want to judge but this mindset is often encountered and it is indeed the reason that eventually comes out because they also have the desire to try to live as a rich person even if only for a day and the choice is wrong.
Here is what happens to my friends and me and I am sure this is a reflection on different financial values and life attitude in general. Well, I don't drink any alchohol while a few friends of mine love drinking very much. They would gather to have dinner/drink almost every day(at least four times a week). I am often invited but due to my no-drinking habit, I usually turn the invitation down. We are all family men but they are a few years older than me. Their children are much older than my kid so probably they don't need their fathers' attention and time. I always put my family first so this is also one of the reasons I don't join them that frequently. Financially, every gathering meal/drinking is not cheap because it involves a lot of drinks and dishes. The average cost of such dinner/drinking is equivalent to 1/5 the average monthly income in the city where we live. So every month, the cost for these "gatherings" consumes all the income that a man can earn for months. This is considered a huge waste of money in many people's eyes cause most people don't earn much. Although I don't drink, occasionally I will treat them and pay the bills for the guesture of friendliness. Do you think my friends' lifestyle is a waste of money and time ? How much do you spend on such gatherings on average ? Please let me know.
Exactly, there's no need to differentiate people or label them as "impractical" if that's the way of their living. It's like thinking of you're much better or you have more savings than them because you are not spending a lot on random things or pricey foods and coffees. Have you wondered why people could still afford to buy those things whenever they want? This means they afford to buy so why won't they spend their money on things that make them happy. Doesn't that the point of being rich or having enough money to some people? To afford things and enjoy life using their money? Because some lifestyle must be a waste but if you keep comparing yourself to others then why you're not rich and have you enjoyed your life for once?. Just live the way you want if you think that is good for you then go with it. Comparison is the worst in our mind to be honest.

You are evaluating this from the point of view of a poor person, or a middle class who needs to save money in order to achieve any goal. But there are people whose incomes are much higher than the incomes that for the average person. Such people can afford much more, they can live in an expensive house and drive an expensive car, take frequent vacations, but still spend less than they earn. Constantly saving is also not a very interesting occupation, especially if in this way you can achieve wealth only in old age...
When the people doesn’t have enough money for their monthly expenses,it may look like they doesn’t need to spend on additional expenses like social drinking and party.But this will help to get the contact of big business people,they may help us in starting some new business.The friends from rich families will have an attitude of helping their poor friends.Drinking alone not spoil your money,you should split your income based on the amount of money you received from the income.Looking for relationships is actually a lot of ways that can be done not just having a drink with some relatives or friends who have better conditions.

Your friends lifestyle is considered to be wasteful because frequent drinking and dining gatherings can be costly and may not provide any meaningful benefits. With that it would affect his daily budget to sustain their daily needs and it would result to loaning of money. What you did is just right to turn down invitations because it would be just additional expenses on your part and you might ruin your budget. And I agree with you that we should think first on the welfare of our family.
Sounds like you and your friends have different approaches to drinking and socializing. While they enjoy frequent gatherings involving alcohol, you choose not to join due to your no-drinking habit and your commitment to prioritize your family. It's true that these gatherings can be quite expensive, consuming a significant portion of their monthly income. Whether it's a waste of money and time is subjective, depending on individual perspectives and priorities. As for how much one typically spends on such gatherings, it varies from person to person. It's ultimately up to you to decide what works best for you and your financial goals.
And people who usually always consider their lifestyle to be more luxurious will also find it difficult to be successful in their life unless the person is able to change their bad habits for the better. For example, like spending on everything excessively without taking into account how much he needs in life, this is a very bad habit that must be changed for the better so that he can think more rationally when shopping.

It depends what you feel comfortable with really. If they want to drink and eat away their money in a frivolous manner that is up to them. It can be better to enjoy many things when you're younger rather than over saving for retirement when your body aches and you cannot do as many things easily. It's a hard balance to find and it does feel like going out 4 times a week to eat is maybe too much, but it can depend on how much they are earning along with what the generally accepted behavior is where you live. In America it might be much more common to eat out and drink than Europe for example. As long as nobody is getting into financial trouble then just be at peace with what makes you happy.
Those who have low incomes or are still on average in life but are wasteful in terms of spending money, it is a sign that they do not have awareness within themselves so they prefer to release their boredom by having fun in just a moment. I think that kind of people will never be successful in their life because they don't see examples of rich people who still make savings when using money for their daily needs.
When it comes to lifestyle, we all understand that it comes with a price tag. The magnitude of the expenses incurred is commensurate with the prestige obtained. Lifestyle indeed holds significance, as it serves as a reward for one's efforts in earning money. It also contributes to our happiness and enthusiasm in our work.The level of happiness differs for each individual. Even those who lead modest lives and possess average economic conditions feel a great sense of pride when they can purchase their coveted items with their hard-earned wages, no matter how meager they may be. I never wish to hinder the pursuit of happiness of others, as they deserve to attain it.
In the minds of those with simpler perspectives, it is no worse than a boss who is always driven by greed in their pursuit of money, sacrificing anything in its path. Some are willing to discard their families, friends, and loved ones solely for the sake of money. Ironically, that is profoundly contradictory.

It depends on your capability people are keep having a good time spending their money because they have extra and they keep looking at it as extra money that they can spend a lot of money and unlike other people. see their money as a precious thing so they could have a chance to accumulate as possible for their investment and savings.
But again not all the time it's all about earning, savings and playing safe always treat yourself to get satisfied with your goals achieved.
different people's level of happiness. by having a lot of money, maybe they will be facilitated to be able to pamper themselves by fulfilling all their desires, something like that is not wrong, because the way they value themselves after working hard to achieve it, and maybe the amount is not much compared to what it produces. it is wrong if our style is not in accordance with income, so that behind it it becomes a sharp boomerang that will hurt us ourselves. but not a few people who are too rich actually have a simple lifestyle, it all depends on the personality of each personBut again not all the time it's all about earning, savings and playing safe always treat yourself to get satisfied with your goals achieved.
There are also rich people that aren't buying those fancy things, so it really depends on the personality of the person. Others, let's say, will take a loan or do an installment just to buy their wants, but again, this depends, as others will be signs of giving themselves as a gift for the hard work done, like that one. Even I don't buy fancy things, but I do drink occasionally, which is also a lot, but it is just giving myself a relaxing time.

It is through that some certain lifestyle that we live is not really the best for us, this is why we don't need to copy other people's lifestyles or the so called celebrities that might had been having so much influence on us as there fans. Having so much friend too can influence us both negatively and positively if those groups of friends are always influencing us in a bad way that could would not make us think of investing or doing something that would makwbua to think differently as a human in order to better our life.
We don't need to live above our pay even though we might be urge to live some certain lifestyle that could affect make us keep spending as if we have everything in place.
