Yes, it's a whole lot easier to spend money than it is to earn and save it.
What you describe is truly sad, but the blame doesn't fall on Walmart or other retailers. And in some ways it doesn't even have anything to do with how much a person earns (or how much government assistance they draw). It has to do with the instant gratification mindset. The depression era kids learned to get by with very little. They sure didn't waste money. Even later when they were raising their own families they were very frugal. Their kids (my generation) had it much easier but they tried to instill in us to spend responsibly and to save, save ,save for that inevitable rainy day. The idea that the government should handle the rainy day problems instilled in people instead of people being personally responsible for their financial situations, at the same time parents decided it was a good idea to give their kids everything they wanted. So today's youngsters have generally grown up getting what they want, when they want it, and haven't really learned how to live within their means. Some will blame the schools and there may be some truth in that, but I put the blame on the parents.
