The self deception is admirable! Even in the face of foreclosure and bankrupcy people like this still run around with false pride and grand illusions that they are living the life of a celebrity. Sometimes I wish that I could be a little less self aware and just run around dropping benjamins, sipping on Cristal and buying new cars and backyard pools that I cannot afford. Interesting that from a distance, many would assume that this couple had reached the pinnacle of success, when in fact they are flat broke. At the same time, you could look at the guy down the street from us with a wife, two kids, old Chevy, average house, and assume that he is just an average Joe who hasn’t gone too far in life. In fact, he is a doctor and loaded, you just can’t see it. Bling, bling! Look at my bling! Look at my bank account and you won’t see a thing! And I can’t take it with me when I die, so it don’t mean a thing!
