That mentality that your rommate has is far too common these days, and it keeps a lot of people poor.

It drives me nuts when people who can afford it act this way and then complain about money. Pointing out that if they spend .75 cents today they'll save $1.75 this month is only met with a blank stare and a shrug. Same as when I point out they will spend more to repair something that is way beyond it's expected life expectancy or will cost more to fix the longer it is ignored. lol. I'm really at a loss as to what they are thinking when faced with the math.
Some don't have the cash on hand to take care of expensive repairs or replacements immediately. That's a different ball of wax.

It's not always a mentality, just a matter of math -- you can't buy what you can't afford, if you can only afford 2lb meat and milk and cereal and rice, or 10lb meat, might wanna get some variety. ;]

For those who don't have the funds, you are right. If he didn't have the money I wouldn't mind it.
