"Hey man...Life is Short"
This is by far the favorite quote by slowlaners to justify their bad decisions. I know three people this year that used their tax returns to get new cars. Dodge Charger, BMW 750 and Benz CL 550. All cars over $30k, bought by people making no more than $60k/year. It's extremely easy to look like money now-a-days then it is to actually have money.
After they showed off their new purchase with so much pride, I asked them why they got the car. After telling me how their current car isn't the greatest, they all sayed..."Life is Short. You have to get the things you want sometimes." Far enough...did you at least shop around for the best deal? I'm sure you know the answer to this.
NEWS FLASH - Life really isn't that short. The decisions you make today will effect you for a very long time. And I've given up trying to tell people around me that.
Did they do anything to better their health...NOPE! Did they do anything to provide them with more freedom...NOPE! Did they do anything to ensure they can be financially independent...NOPE! Did they pay down their debt...NOPE! Did they study investments...NOPE!
