I'll give you some examples of what I mean by "stupid".
Refuses to go to the dentist because "they always tell me I have cavities".
Rants and raves that they successfully quit smoking, but hides the fact that they just switched to chew.
Hires a maid service, then spends 16 hours cleaning before the maid shows up.
Disconnects the "service engine" light because he doesn't know what the problem really is.
Skipped his rent for a month because he was angry at his landlord for threatening to evict him.
Took out a loan to buy christmas presents, then asked relatives for money for christmas instead of gifts so she can pay for that loan.
See, normally I'd just tell these people off for being stupid...but they're my friends so I can't just come right out and say that. And softened methods of saying "Y'know, that's really not a good idea, because..." have failed to get through. Is there some kind of tactful way to slap someone upside the head?

Try to make it a joke, or, if they don't know that you know about it, bring it up like someone else did it, and talk about how stupid they are.

I don't think there is a soft way to tell them they are stupid. If I were you I'd just tell them, that even tho they are yuor friends, the things they do are really stupid. They could go about things a little differently.
But I would just let them live thier stupid lives..

You should do your best to intensify your deep friendship with stupid ones for that will help you a lot to come down to their level.

Don't waste your time hanging around this person. You can't change them. Get new friends.
