I would think you could find a way to moonlight and make $5 in those 8 hours (minus the time it takes on the train).
So my objection still stands. 🙂
With all due respect, I don’t think so.
The OP was complaining about the frivilous spending of money. He didn’t argue that one is required to go out and find extra work because people have tzaros, but rather that we shouldn’t spend so much on discretionary items. I don’t believe (and, OP, if I’m wrong, let me know) that he would require me to seek out extra work for this purpose.
