1. In my opinion, is an idea too much extremely. We can control us with other things more reasonable. For example, when we make a purchase we can receive a text to our smartphone, or if you have an app of your bank you can see your balance before the purhase. We must have common sense to management our accounts.
2. My main expenditure is clothes. I don’t spend too much money but I go shopping very often. However, when I have a wedding or a special event I spend more money than usual.
3. I think all the people are free and have to control herself, but there are special or exceptional occasions that, maybe, “shock” can be usefully, for example for people that want to stop smoking or people with drugs problems or obesity.
4. I’m agree with all the things that make life easier. You can’t stop the technology’s evolution so you have to adapt to them. But, always, you must to be prudent and have common sense.
