I used to see a luxury sports car on the road and ask what I was doing wrong to not have that, but then I slowly realized that half of them on the road were probably bought with money the owner doesn't have and are leveraged up to the tits.

this, and...
I blame fb. The only reason it exists is for people to show food pics and show off their vacations, 2nd homes in Palm Springs and Kelowna, vehicles, houses and everything else that makes them look better than others.
Then others need to keep up with the Joneses is they are going to continue to post to fb.
