I know people who don't spend $1000/mo on those type of things. Anecdotes cancel.
The reason that there are TV shows about that kind of thing is because the occurrences are far enough out on the bell curve that people can get the entertainment from "watching the stupid people", combined with the frisson of moral-superiority-combined-with-just-enough-fear-for-their-own-situations.
If it was typical, the TV show wouldn't exist.
- FollowSteph3 14y agoI disagree completely. It's the same thing too with many people who are overweight due to lack of exercise and bad eating habits. Are you saying those shows are outside of the norm or that it's more fun to just watch rather than do it ourselves? How many of us can say we eat properly and get the right amount of exercise on a monthly basis? Yet these types of shows are very popular. And I can guarantee you that the average person is nowhere close to living a healthy lifestyle!!
