One young fellow I know from work. Makes 6 figures and can"t "afford" a new house. Funny thing is a few years ago I tried to gently steer him into getting his balance sheet in order.After all, he is a CPA and controller for a large corporation. Why can"t he get a new house?
Well, he wanted to drive one of those fancy new Acura"s. I drove in it one day. Wow, the cockpit rivals a fighter planes. BUT then because he got his new car the wife insisted she had to have a new car too!
So now he has 2 car payments, under water on the Condo he just had to buy a few years back.
