"Back to the situation from my OP. This specific case is very poor judgement. However, to a certain degree, the Capitalistic culture here shoulders some of the blame. How? People and Corps have been programmed to take, consume, spend. Couple that with the desire for material things, up to and including things some folks simply can not afford. On the flip side of that coin, you have said Businesses willing and ready to sell you shit that they know you can't or shouldn't try to afford. It's a vicious cycle that keeps churning and burning."

Sorry, but I have to take issue with your statement. And coming from a professed "business owner" really is completely confusing. You are actually blaming Capitalism? Lol. TEX, you are one of the members here who routinely posts about expensive luxury brands and exotic supercars. So much so, one could conclude you have much disdain for common automobiles.

WTF does Capitalism have to do with people making poor financial decisions? No one makes another person buy a car or forces them to buy a vechicle they cannot truly afford. It's simply personal responsibility and nothing more. We need more personal accountability in our society not more attacks on Capitalism, which makes the US the envy of the rest of the world (as evidenced by the tens of thousands who want to sneak in every month - lol).

Comeonman, Psychobabble.
