If anyone gets into a situation like that without a sudden unforeseen incident occurring or a plan that involves the wait they should probably do some self-checking on whether they might have a spending, bid-gambling, or hording addiction.

I get you, for sure. And generally agree.
Of course, there was one time when I waited until the last day to pay an invoice. I won a pretty thick stack of rare and valuable Mays pieces at the auction, and was on the cusp of getting a big bonus at work. So I took my sweet time to pay, because I expected to have the cash by the deadline.
Naturally the bonus dragged, and ultimately didn't come in by the payment deadline, so I had to float the payment on the HELOC, which the wife TOTALLY loved. Luckily, the bonus came through shortly thereafter and it only cost me a couple hundred in interest. But the principle didn't sit well with her.
