It's not a dramatization. Anyone else here remember what happens when oil tanks and jobs dry up? The luxuries go first. It is done, so that when the tire blows, the furnace fails, etc. there is cash on hand to tend to necessities. Find someone who's been laid off and ask how they feel about buying season tickets right now.
I am surprised by the shortsightedness here.
