I've been doing the same thing lately! I know someone who has $15,000 in student loans and her b/f just got a decent job within the last month, they have two kids 2 and 10 mths, and instead of putting money away to pay the loan they are planning a trip to disney world! i want to tell them to be more responsible, and save some money to pay off the loan, but i know everyone will just say i'm being a funsucker...so i say nothing they wonder why i'm not happy for them like everyone else...but i can't encourage financial irresponsiblility...

When a friend tells me they just bought this or that, my first reaction is "can you really afford that? Weren't you just complaining about your credit card debt last week?" I obviously would never say this, because it's rude... but it defintely pops in my head! I have been reading PF blogs for a few months now (got totally addicted!), and I agree with you.
