Some people get into debt by buying things they don’t need and can’t afford. What are the reasons for this behaviour? What action can be taken to prevent people from having this problem?

#people #debt #don’t #can’t #behaviour #action
In recent times it’s easier to find
people
 that, even though they are struggling financially or are already in debt, continue to spend
money
 to buy things that are not necessary. If you analyse the reasons behind
this
 type of choice, it can be seen that it’s mostly due to psychological factors. Because of that, there’s a need for projects that could raise awareness on
this
 matter. One of the causes of
this
 problem seems to be psychological. In fact,
people
 are mostly corrupted by today’s society and they feel the need to buy and spend
money
 each day, sometimes on things they don’t even realise are not needed.
Moreover
, once they reach the point where they’re already in debt, most
people
 end up not caring anymore about their financial status, mostly because they notice that the damage it’s already done.
For example
, I've seen
people
 continue to gamble even if they already lost most of their
money
 because they didn't have anything to lose anymore. To put an end to these situations, there’s only one thing that can be done: raise awareness. If the government took time to create projects and campaigns to make adults aware of
this
 matter and to guide those
people
, so that they can understand how to properly manage their
money
, the situation would probably be under control. To sum up, more and more
people
 during the
last
 years have started to spend
money
 on objects that are useless and that happens because of how our society works nowadays and because of psychological reasons,
however
 much can be done to help them, and the government should start with campaigns to raise awareness and projects to teach
people
 how to spend efficiently their resources.
