I know a family that is struggling.
They both work and owned a house they got for 27K in an older part of town.
The garage was full of exotic cars and motorcycles in various states of repair(mostly broken)
I found them a 1980s grampa mobile whos owner had died, with like 25K mi on it for 800 bucks.
Did they buy it? hell no. theyed rather throw 3k a year at an unreliable dream car.
BTW they lost the house. you could have made the mortgage selling soda cans.
Did I mention the house was full of computers and servers?

You cant make people make good choices

I read a great quote. Can't remember who said it. "If all the rich people gave all their money to all the poor people, in five years the rich people would be rich again and the poor people would be poor again."

What were they doing with the computers and servers? Did they run an ISP or write software to sell to people? Let me guess. They had unreal video game parties, right?
