And secondly, while I appreciate folks believe they should be entitled to live a certain lifestyle if they work in a certain job, the simple fact is that sometimes you’re not, and cost management can open a lot of opportunities to make free money simply by cutting costs that are lower priority than others. Anyways, sorry if I offended, but I do like to evangelize budgeting, as offensive as it may be.

There's some good posts on budgeting here and I think it's a very worthwhile discussion, I just take exception to the ones that have anecdotes to share and frame the problem like the people struggling would be fine if they just budgeted better.
Think I said it yesterday, but for most people there's just nothing left to budget with after you pay rent
