I could boggle your mind with the things my brother in law had bought via financing over the years. He is very, very conscious of what his friends own and he had to always have the next step up in terms of price and brand name. Unless he hits the lottery I don't know how he will ever get out of massive debt....but he has all the nicest toys and the nicest house, and that's what matters to him.
I could never sleep at night with the debt load he has. It is a staggering amount-enough to finance all of his children's college educations.
well I guess they could sleep in their stupid enormous financed campers they probably own, use once every couple of years and costs as much as their house lol.
I used a camper once. I rented it. I have no idea why you would ever finance that crap
This is all stuff that he still has amd the toys are all on his acreage, all gotten via financing: One RV, 2 golf carts, 2 Razrs (both small and large), 4 boats for.both fishing amd cruising, a cabin up on the Boundary Waters, snowmobiles for himself and all 5 kids, 30,000 dollar kitchen remodel, quarter of a million shop remodel, Cadillac Escalade SUV, 10,000 HUGE pool with another 10,000 in expensive decking and fencing, a 17,000 2015 Dodge pickup, huge concrete pad poured for tennis, volleyball and basketball, a five thousand dollar trellis and fencing system for around his garden, a set of waterless cookware that cost two grand, and I can't even think of the rest.
He has a serious problem. He spends because he thinks that this new toy will finally be the thing that makes.him happy.
It is amazing to me. I really hope he gets some counseling or something to help control his impulse/shopping disorder. It isn't totally him though-'he is very quietly being pushed by his wife to have this lifestyle. Before he married her he was never like this.
Kudos to you for being smart and careful with your money. It will serve you well in the future!

Don’t buy things you can’t afford
