I'm gonna die broke because I am far too impulsive a spender. My most extreme example to date is when I was riding back from my mates once when I decided to stop at one of the local motorbike dealers for a £1 cup of tea. 2 hours later I had spent £5,500 on a new motorbike mainly because it sounded absolutely fantastic.
I have just sold that particular bike as now I am getting on in years it was just too loud and lairy for me. Two days later I am applying for a bank loan to buy a new bike with....doh!
Also just wanted to say that just because most westerners are in debt from the time they are 18 or so, that this is only a problem if you have more debt than you can deal with. As long as the debt is manageable most of us will be debt free by the time we retire, owning our own homes and hopefully kicking back and relaxing.

Donny's probably right. The gap between the classes in the United States (you know, those things that don't exist anymore? ...) has continued to grow larger over the past several decades.
I'll be blatantly honest here: I will probably die poor - or at best, low-middle-class. I'm bad with finances, and it takes an act of supreme will for me to save a dime.
I will say this: I had a friend several years ago who got evicted from his house because he found a pair of leather pants that he just
had
to have. I'm not
that
compulsive, thankfully.

Why would I WANT to die with a lot of money? I intend to make plenty of money and save a lot of that money for retirement, but when I'm an old geezer, I want to blow that cash on all the good things in life and then die with a smile on my face.

I'm gonna die broke because of my addictive tendencies and me wanting to throw all of my excess money on my hobbies which in the past have included warhammer 40k and magic the gathering.

Paintball (50$ for 2000 rounds, 3$ CO2 refill)
(Switch to compressed air, CO2 sucks for so many reasons)

I'm going to die broke because I have expensive hobbies:
Photography (my camera was 800, and one of my lenses was 700)
Snowboard (500$ for board boots and and bindings + Lift tickets)
Paintball (50$ for 2000 rounds, 3$ CO2 refill)
recreational (SOFT) drug use (use your imagination)
Pokemon Snap, Cool Boarders, World Championship Paintball, and Max Payne. There I just condensed your hobbies into cheap video games :D
You can thank me later.
As for me, most of my money goes into Steam. :| If there's not a game I want, it goes to the Mannconomy. I also like to gift friends of mine that really don't have many games.

Board is a one off expense, unless you're silly enough to rent every season
