It is there life.
And I would rather have a happy, but irrespondible, spender in my family than a smug, know it all and condescending saver.
At least the irresponsible ones don't have a constant note of derision and arrogance in what they say.
If someone is an adult, who cares?
Their family & loved ones might care cause they see somethign that the person doesn't.
Why is everyone talking in such extremes - irrepsonbilbe spender or condecending saver etc ?
I can;t see how Alex is sayign anythign differnt to someone like Richard Kiosaki in his books, but Alex has an actual concern for her brother whom she loves, Richard was just telling a story for us to buy off him so that he could bank the money.
I think Alex's heart is in the right place.
