    There’s a sizeable portion of Americans who are obsessed with making sure people know just how rich they are by purchasing the newest, most expensive toys to show off, even if they aren’t rich. In fact, especially if they aren’t rich. Then when they implode, it’s someone else’s fault.

      Yeah I feel bad for people struggling right now making payments on some beater.

      The people who decided during the pandemic that they needed a $80k truck and suddenly can’t afford it. Yeah, I’m not losing sleep.
