That's fine of course but you have to understand that different people have different circumstances. I have money and I don't live hand to mouth in any way. So I might feel the same way (but can't say for sure in all honesty).

But many people do (live hand to mouth) and sometimes for circumstances that are beyond their control and sometimes of course simply because they make the wrong choices. My point is simply while it is great that you in particular had no issue losing pay (or I might have possibly feel the same way) not everyone would - I'm sure you will agree with that.

Not to mention that the crowd effect many people would simply make decisions based on what others are doing or social pressure.
