His shortcoming may primarily stem from poor choices he made, but saying he's poor entirely because of his own actions is overreach. You might as well blame his spending an extra 10 bucks a week on lunch at work when he could instead go without and put 10 dollars away every check. Like, as, if you're broke you probably shouldn't spend your money on anything at all and save every penny until not poor. I's not so cut and dry depending on lack of economic oppurtunities for someone. Unless he sells his soul and sucks his superior's dick at the workplace in hoping to get that promotion he may very well be in a bad spot. Not everyone can just climb to success. With extreme will and many sacrifices, perhaps, but you're busting his balls like buying toys is why he's stuck. Come on, dude.
