    most of the time these articles come out… the folks in question are massively overspending on cars, travel, and other luxury goods they really can’t afford but insist that they ‘need’.

    my locally subreddit was full of people like this would would argue with you that spending $500-1000 every weekend on eating out was ‘normal’. if you are making 7K a month and spending 4K of it on partying… yeah you will feel like life is a struggle. and if you pointed out maybe they could cut back their spending they would just start insulting you calling you a loser with no life who stays at home…

      1k every weekend?

      I would say that you surely exaggerate, but I have learned that there is no upper limit to stupidity.
