I remember some years ago working a part-time job with a local HVAC company and going on a service call to a very fine McMansion located in one of the pricier developments. Nice large yard. Four-car garage. Two relatively new luxury cars parked in the driveway. The wife came to the door to allow us inside and we were stunned to see that there was hardly any furniture in the house. They couldn’t afford furniture. They had borrowed and dumped everything into the house and cars to give those who passed the illusion that they were wealthy. SMH More than likely they were almost financially destitute. Banks made it easy for them to borrow beyond their means. Now they were debt slaves… at least until they simply couldn’t pay the bills any longer. Can you just imagine the mental stress this couple was under?
