Same here. I used to think the big spenders were foolish. Now, I'm not so sure. Maybe I'm the foolish one, counting my pennies my whole life.
Some people always have debt, even if they earn a high income. They drive new cars, while I drive old clunkers. They wear nice clothes. They take expensive vacations.
They're always in debt, but they're happy.
You can't take it with you.
Especially when the government takes from you to subsidize their bad choices. Maybe we are the suckers, after all.
