There are plenty that do not work hard for their money, a prime example are kids like this thread started about. They have no idea what work even is, or having to save for something, or not just "swiping a magic card" and having themselves be gratified by yet another purchase. Its a whole mentality. After attending a private college, I have met my share of these individuals.

Here's a good article:

Nothing wrong with money itself, it is the love of money which is the downfall. And far too many have succumbed to that. Hey, isn't that why our economy just went crashing down? People wanted way too many things that they could not hope to afford, then they lost their jobs and the debt attacked them in a dark alley. That's how it goes. In this country the average credit card debt is $4200+ per adult And over $7500+ per household.
