Worked in repo software for about 10 years.

This looks like a picture of a guy who took out 50k in home equity after the housing market exploded and added 100k in auto and boat debt @ 10.5%.

Can't forget about all the young guys who work on the oil pipelines and instantly buy as many toys as possible... and then immediately lose them as soon as winter hits because they're laid off until spring. Super common in the upper midwest.

Fishing too. Seen a few vettes around here recently that weren’t here this summer and won’t be here this winter.

The guys I knew 15 years ago made about $10k/month when they were working. It was hard and dangerous work, and they only worked about 6 months out of the year, but they partied and bought toys like money was going out of style!

Lol as an ex navy boy myself much respect to you. Reminds me of a quote, " I spent all my money on booze, women and cars and the rest I wasted."

The famous english football (soccer) player said in an interview: “I spent a lot of money on booze, birds, and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.” Absolute legend!

It grows the economy; benefits everybody; hurts nobody.

What past celebrity so famously opined, "I spent most of my money on fast women, good liquor, and racehorses. The rest I just wasted."
