I'm slowly becoming the guy that tells people, "you don't need that, you want it!" And I find that some are receptive and can be guided to some extent but some have started to avoid me a little, I'm guessing for fear that I'll challenge their bad habits when they complain about money. I think from now on I'll stick to "well, can't tell you what to do but I'll tell you what I did when I got in a similar bind". Thanks!
