As stated above, it’s likely a function of people deciding that while they cannot afford to buy a home, they choose to have a nice car.
Not entirely illogical. Most people do not think in terms of long term financial wealth… they want to get by and enjoy life now. They realize they will never be ‘rich,’ but want a taste of what they perceive as ‘the good life.’ Is that really so terrible? I think not. Perhaps they are happier than the miser who amasses wealth and drives a POS[/quote]
I like this post. As long as they don’t end up with nothing for retirement at the end and cry they are “entitled” to more money from the taxpayer, what do I care how they choose to prioritize.
And yes, life can be short. Things can and do happen.
There is much to be said for living it up in the present.
