Our society has become a terrible sham, its way to extravagant, every one want a bigger car , house, body parts, ect.. You know keep up with the neighbors..
Don't fall into it and you'll be far better off.. I'm actually considering downsizing anywhere i can.
My wife has a co worker that any time some one comes into work with a newer car, or and ring or cloths, basically anything she needs to match or beat it and shes so far in debt she is now working 2 jobs, her leased car is way over mileage and she has a year lease left, she could not get a loan for the car as she has to much debt.. she has over 30k on credit cards and her house hold income is under 100k.. Sadest part is she keeps on doing the same stuff.. more and more debt.
I told my wife to use it as a great example to think about when shopping and tempted to spend extra... it worked.. she see how this lady comes in and talks about she says she has no money, yet goes out to eat every day at dinner etc.. and then this lady askes her to go out and she says no eating out is expensive.. the lady says you always have money spend some of it.. My wife says yeah i have money as I'm never eating out.. yet this lady just doesn't put 2 and 2 together.
So now we just laugh at her utter stupidity in the matter and don't try to help.. its good laughs at home to think of how she basically eats a new car payment worth of cash on eating out everyday, and then the stories of what new thing she bought because some one else got something..
