You might really help out a buddy...just because you have had a very strong self realization he may not have. Notwithstanding I get how hard of a convo that might be.

Unless you're out of a job, it most certainly is your fault, in most cases. If you don't have enough money, take a hard look at the way money comes in and goes out of your life--you'd probably be shocked at what you find. I know because it happened to me. I'm not rich now, but I cetainly have enough money for the things I really want to do in life. The answer to that question is a resounding YES.

I was always baffled by the fact that my friends were struggling with money while I was living comfortably on a comparable salary. But I don't smoke, I rarely drink, I prefer eating home cooked food, and my recreational activities more commonly resemble free things like hiking than expensive things like partying. And (/gasp, unbelievably), I'm a lot healthier and, I think, happier for it! Maybe it's a matter of having different taste, but I tend to think it's more a matter of choosing to be happy from the inside out rather than seeking it from the outside.
