And just to clarify I'm not trying be a dick about people who live beyond their means, it's fine, we all make choices and we only live once, so it's all good.
I just wish more people would be more honest about it. There's certain things in a vehicle that can be considered "needs". IE: I have 3 kids, so we need a van or SUV.
Great, but what does that have to do with a 2014, $28k SUV with all the upgrades? Nothing. You just want a new vehicle, and are willing to take on a $400 monthly payment, or worse, a lease payment to drive around in the latest model so that your friends and neighbors see you in it. Or so that you appear to not have to make any sacrifices and that you are on the high end of the middle class, when the reality is you're a little closer to the bottom end.
