[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So much misunderstanding and apparent envy on this thread. Anyone can choose to buy a fancy car. What difference does it make if that person is in the military?[/quote] This. A nice car is a lower hanging fruit than let's say a nicer house. People choose how to allocate funds based on what is plausible and gives them most enjoyment for the buck. You aren't going to afford a 3m+ mcMansion and private schools because you don't buy a 70K car, it's a different ballgame. You can live in a shack or a rental apartment/townhouse and drive a nice car - way cheaper than a huge mortgage and especially if you also have 2 homes (like many here apparently do). Luxury items like clothes, jewelry, cars are much more attainable than things like real assets (RE, sizeable investment accounts, funded college accounts, equity in a successful business, etc). These things are much harder to "afford" than leasing a luxury car. [/quote]
