Want to be car rich and cash (house, savings, etc) poor? Then wiggle your way into it. At least you will look like you have $ to the chicas, as you take them to Burger King & ask them to pay for their meal. $70k may be decent $ for your age, is certainly a lot to someone who is in the unemployment line, but it isn't really "good money".

I think the fault is primarily due to the banks and investment institutions ... lending money to people that really cannot afford some of the things they purchased / acquired like houses, condos and cars etc ... just look around you what you can get today (more so a few years back) with no money down ... it's ridiculous ... I feel sorry for the people that simply fall for this
