Do you think a celebrity who turns down a multi-million dollar deal solely because the organization doesn't allow him smoking weed is a reckless financial decision?
Keep in mind this definition of reckless financial decision - It entails when a person makes choices that involve significant financial risk or lack of consideration for the potential consequences.

What other reckless financial decision do you know or have heard of?

If he already has a lot of money and high demand in his industry, turning down a multi-million dollar deal might not be as bad as being forced to quit smoking weed. Stopping weed use could potentially impact his productivity to a degree that hinders future deals. Ultimately, whether this is a reckless decision depends on his specific circumstances. As long as the potential benefits outweigh the risks and he understands the consequences, it wouldn't be considered reckless.

One example of a reckless financial decision I've heard of is resigning from a secure job to open a business without adequate savings or relevant experience. In this scenario, the individual needs to learn everything from scratch, and the business needs to become profitable quickly to avoid depleting their savings. This is considered reckless because it involves a very high risk of financial failure.
