Can’t afford food but can afford high car payments, able to get their nails and hair done up pretty.

How’s that saying go...you find out who’s been swimming naked when the tide goes out.

From the article:

“The first time Kelly Wilcox drove her 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan to the food pantry near her home in Payson, Utah, she noticed one thing right away that surprised her: newer models of Toyota and Honda sedans and minivans. “I saw a bunch of other people with cars like mine, who had kids in cars,” she said”

2017 is newer than my wife’s car....the inability for people to manage money and to go into credit debt has always baffled me.

Of the countless life lessons my parents taught me one was if you can’t afford it......DO WITHOUT.

The want of money material objects has probably ruined as many lives as probably anything else.
