I came here to say this. When I haven't had enough money, I have lived on a budget. If the author is trying to say that self-destructive behavior can show up in many forms, then sure. But if you take responsibility for your own decisions, you should spend less than you earn and eat less than you can (unless you're in the most extreme case for which government welfare is your lifeline)
