Sorry guys, but the decision here isn't whether to go to the football or go and have three pints at the pub next Tuesday. If I had $31 that could only be spent on one of those two things then I'd definitely go to the football.
But $31 could be a weeks worth of groceries to some of us. It might be alright for some of you to just have three less pints at work drinks that week, but I don't have 3 pints in my weekly budget to sacrifice.
