Question

Why do you think someone might do such a reckless and irresponsible thing like blowing a monthly check on buying lobster and other luxury food items when they states " people dont realize that even poor people get tired of the same old taste. Like , I literally hate hot dogs, but I was brought up on them. So you think, when i get older, I will have steak. So now I'm older . And I do". Discuss in a lengthy paragraph

Answer 1

Childhood experiences leave a major impact and affect on an individual's adult personality. Blowing a monthly check on buying luxury food items, speaks volumes about a person's state of mind. An individual's action and behaviour are deep rooted in their childhood. Growing up, a person may have been brought up in conditions where his parents could barely make ends meet. In a situation like that, a person may have gotten bare minimum to eat, or would eat basic food to fill one's stomach. When this person grows up and has money in hand, he would want to fulfill his wishes and desires. He or his parents could not afford luxury food items in his childhood. However, now that he earns and has a check in hand, he wants to not live like a peasant and wants to experience all the things that he wished to as a child. This explains what may look like a reckless and irresponsible thing to some. However, the person splurging money on expensive food is actually fulfilling his dreams.
