I was talking to a co-workers cousin who just came here from India and one of the things that surprised him was that people financed things. More specifically cell phones... he said why would you finance a phone if you couldn't afford it..

Made me think that our culture normalizes things like financing and payments... It's only $30 a month etc.

I bring that up because my buddy is on a perpetual lease with his car. He's been rolling in a brand new A4 for the last 10 years. he makes $90k and is renting. his payment is close to $700 a month. Insane.
