I'm curious for those who seem to thing it's wrong to write out an addict, what are you thoughts on writing out a profligate spender? Let's say this person burns through ever penny of their own money, and is thousands in debt. They certainly beg, borrow, and maybe eventually steal from family. Clearly giving them money will almost certainly be just enabling that bad behavior and will make no meaningful difference in their lives.
(I suppose an argument could be made that anyone who spends at that level has an addiction of sorts, but I'm not sure that's entirely true.)
To me, I could give that person money, know it will be utterly wasted, or I could give it to someone else who might use it to send a kid to college or push them the final bit toward FIRE, or to a charity that does amazing work. That seems like a pretty easy choice, although it might not be quite so easy if I was choosing to leave money to 2 of 3 kids and the resulting emotional pain that would cause.
