I think it's a bit of a stretch to lump "failure to budget properly" under "mental illnes".

- empath75 10y agoIf you're just blowing through money too quickly, then that's not really a crisis that needs intervention from the state, imo. You'll either learn to spend your money better or learn to like ramen.
- mercer 10y agoI'd say if you blow through your money consistently to the point of having to eat ramen all the time, that is a problem. And it's caused by bad decisions your mind makes. So while it might seem like a bit of a stretch, it could be considered a mental illness.
- mercer 10y agoA bit, perhaps. But it's not unreasonable to me. How would you define mental illness? Where do you draw the line?
