Let me start off by saying "to each their own, I don't tell people how to spend their money"
Reading the PSA don't swipe recklessly thread has me thinking that nothing is free, the free vacations aren't free if you factor in cost of acquisition of those miles.
I just don't understand how we became such a luxury driven nation.. I see young couples visiting Miami driving Cadillac escalades, eating at top restaurants and staying at top hotels, you'd estimate such a vacation in real costs can be $5000.
Yes bh there are quite a lot of truly wealthy people .. but I find it hard to believe 5% of those spending it, can really afford it .
Maybe im wrong, I just got a new lease which was literally the best deal on the market and absolutely needed, then my insurance premiums went up .. I can't conceive how a young family can afford an $700 lease with $500+ insurance
That's almost $15,000 a year, are frum couples clearing over $150k a year post tax ?
Such a person's rent could easily hit $3000 a month
Between car and house that's a 3rd of your income not counting fancy vacations, luxury clothing and Lord knows what they eat when they aren't traveling.
