I wonder what you call those people in English who - being irresponsible for whatever comes in the future - always spend all their money (whenever they have some). In Hungarian sociology, we call them 'konzumidióták'. Is this expression from the English 'consumer idiot'? Do you have it in English? Any other expressions for these people?
Thanks a lot!
