The 'We-don't-have-money-to-live-but-we-have-enough-to-have-a-good-time' Syndrome

It's the strangest thing, yet every time I go out to enjoy some form of recreation with my friends and I start talking with new people, there's a side to them that always strikes me as odd. They're sitting here complaining to me that they have no money, and I'm sitting there wondering how in the hell is that possible if he's already put 5 beers on his tab and going on his 6th... Or, there are people from your neighborhood or from your job that you recognize that aren't so well off financially and yet there they are partying their hearts out. It makes you wonder sometimes how they manage to make ends meet by the end of the month. However, one things for sure, either they're spending their whole paycheck in recreational activities, or they've found a second source of cash(e.g. loan, stolen money, black money, etc.) that they're not telling you about - or keeping hush-hush for reasons of self preservation.
The good thing though is that Greece is one of the few countries that provides non-stop entertainment which caters to those who by trade are commonly known as - the good-entertainment-goers('kaloperasakides'). These people typically have a sinecure that keeps them preoccupied for perhaps an hour or so a day, and which allows them the time they need to rest up for the fun that they're about to experience. It's like they've all found their niche in life, and whatever form of entertainment gives them the satisfaction of being happy they put all other things aside and dedicate themselves wholeheartedly to doing what they're best at - having fun. That's all fine and dandy but what mystifies me about the whole equation is how do they find the 'mooolahh'..cause in order to afford the price tag of being a 'good-entertainment-goer' these days you also need some hefty buying power. Maybe each of them have applied to a personal loan that helps them finance their 'party-going' spirit. Oh if only we could all experience such fun!
