The problems of the government have does not have anything to do with our personal decisions. Their functions comprise of the economical, health, financial to mention a few sections in the county. The choice we make on how we want to earn a living, live our lives or the work and business we choose to do all depends on us. And if we choose the wrong part, we should be the ones to blame and not the government. In this scenario, the woman's mother is to be blamed. She has successfully infused the mindset that there is nothing wrong in dating yahoo guys now her daughter will be comfortable with that and start looking for a yahoo boy to date. I would have blamed the girl but i wont, this is because she believed that her mom thinks good for her and wouldn't want her to suffer, perhaps dating a yahoo guy will bring them out from the financial level they are.
There are concerning points that you raised which I find very interesting, decisions are individualistic in nature that's why everyone is been left to their believe or decision to do whatever they like so that they won't blame anyone if any ugly incident courts, one thing we should also know is that mother has influence on their daughters decision on whom to date and again women in general are weak in decision making so this girl in question having such mindset was triggered by his mum but if she was in control of the game I think she wouldn't have been such dumb decision taker but that's by the way.
We should forget that women like flashy things and it is very difficult for a woman to fall for a young man that has money respective of how he made the money, some girls don't want to know how a man makes his money, what they care about is the money itself and that's the mindset.
