I do understand paying your bills in full benefits in the long run which is why I'm doing it now. But you better believe that I'm not just going to not have any sort of entertainment in my life because of bills. I'm sure I'm not the only one on here who thinks that way
Sorry to say, but if you are coming here looking for people to agree with you that it is okay to be going shopping, buying DVDs and otherwise spending money on WANTS when you aren't adequately taking care of your NEEDS, you've come to the wrong place. If you place a higher priority on entertainment than on paying your bills, that is entirely up to you. Your life - your choice. Just understand that it isn't how most of us choose to live. We take care of the NEEDS first and the WANTS second.

Besides, you're missing the point. Nobody is saying you can't have entertainment in your life. TV is free or very cheap with limited basic cable. You don't have to spend $200/month for it. Internet access is free at public libraries. Many libraries also rent DVDs for free or $1 or so. Many stores also have the Red Box machines that rent DVDs for $1. Many museums have certain days of the week when admission is free. Most cities and towns have all sorts of free entertainment, concerts, educational programs, etc. that you can take advantage of. There are plenty of ways to be entertained without spending a ton of money.
