I had a guy sitting in my office a few months ago beating me up for a 75 dollar set of floormats, on a $25,000 car. I got to the income line and he was making 750k a year....lol. Basically he could buy the thing with 1 paycheck. Nope, wanted the 0% a set of floor mats, AND a go mug thrown in. In a million years, you would have never guessed the guy was so set up. His wife was super funny too, totaling busting his balls for being such a tightwad.

I have a similar funny story. One of my friend's uncle is a VP of a big tech company. He drives a ####ty 1980's Corolla to work, and parks it in the executive parking lot with porsche's, bentley, et al. All the exec's pooled their money to buy him a porsche, and said they would give him to the car for free on one condition: he give them the keys for that POS ####, so they don't have to see it anymore. (He agreed)
