It's easy to be paternalistic about another persons expenses. There was nothing more humiliating then going through expenses line by line when I needed help with an electricity bill. Yeah, I paid for cable, but the vast majority of expenses were housing, food, and predatory fees. Digging out of a financial hole is very hard and it's easy to lose all your progress when certain bills are due afew days before you have money. Cable was practically free because I need to buy internet for my job.
