Topic: Is some certain lifestyle a waste of money and time ? - page 13. (Read 1408 times)

When people do not have goals, they will always spend time with alcohol. This is the level of life of an uneducated person, for whom the whole meaning of life is to fill his mind with alcohol, thereby obtaining temporary pleasure, and avoiding problems.
Do not prevent these people from decomposing and degrading, because they will certainly end badly, having received one or another degree of addiction to alcoholism, which will lead them to a quick outcome.
Life is given to a person once, and there comes a moment when a person finally sobers up, but he is at an advanced age when only regrets remain.
There is an expression that says: Tell me who your friend is, and I will tell you who you are. Run from such friends, OP. The more successful people there are around you, the more you will develop. By being around empty people, you can also become like them.

If the cost of dinner/drinking is equivalent to 1/5 average monthly income, I think your friends will broke after a week, how it's possible your friends can have a dinner/drinking for at least 16x times in a month, they are should in debt.

You can friend with them, but it doesn't mean you need to follow anything that your friends are doing, you need to independent and only do what you want to do. For me having a dinner/drinking for 4x times in a week is really wasting money, I will not follow their habit.

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.
