This is something I truly do not understand yet see it happen every single day and it always makes me chuckle.

Broke people that eat out at restaurants. Often. I just don't get it. Why? They're broke, can barely cover their rent, have no savings, the credit card agencies are calling daily... and yet, they go to an Applebee's style restaurant three times a week shelling out $15 a pop for an average steak and free refills of watered down Coke. That is $200 of debt recovery being burnt every month due to what? Laziness? Lack of being able to flip a frying pan?

Stupid.

Maybe I'm just a total cheap ass, but one meal a week at a restaurant is just fine for me. Everything else I can get at home. And sometimes I will eat out two or three times a week, thank God I don't have to ignore the debt collectors.

We all have friends that make less than us, spend more than us, and always complain about debt. My question is: why? Is it really rocket science?
