I have a bunch of financially inept co-workers.

- Multiple people have purchased expensive luxury or sports cars shortly after starting work. The cars are usually more than their salary. Most of them still live at home.

- We all had to take a pay cut due to the economy. One co-worker was complaining about how she couldn't pay her bills if she made any less, and was working on her resume to find a new job. Two weeks later she told us she was planning a trip to Europe for 2 weeks.

- Co-worker was living paycheck to paycheck when she started and was constantly borrowing money from her parents and from her bank. She now makes double her initial salary and still lives paycheck to paycheck and has to borrow money from mom.

- Another girl has a savings account at a bank which only has 1-2 physical locations. She doesn't have a debit card or check book, so the only way for her to get money is to make a withdrawal at the bank which isn't close to work or home. This isn't really a bad idea if you can't control your spending, but she must be terrible about money if you have to go to this extreme to stop yourself from impulsive spending.
