Absolutely. So many have no concept of personal responsibility. "Stuff happens." "I'm entitled because someone else has it too."
It reminds me of one SIL who insists on having her three or four vacations to the beach every year, frequent restaurant meals and shopping, new car every 2-4 years, etc. She traded in a 3 year old almost paid for car because it needed two brake rotors at $250 each and that was too much to pay. What are these people thinking?
She's the one who has to stay in a hotel at Myrtle Beach SC with an ocean view while 20 minutes away another SIL has a nice 3-bedroom double wide vacation home, offered for free, but two blocks from the beach. I guess she can't stand the thought of being in a "trailer park". She's a waitress in a Mom & Pop restaurant - not like she's making rolls of money!
I just don't get it, and it drives DW nuts that her brother married this idiot.
Amen brother!!! I just want someone to explain to me one day, why people would choose to put $2000 rims on a $400 car? Just the clearest and most visible expression of poor thinking that I see on a regular basis. Maybe they all just think they will be dead long before any of their past foolishness catches up to them....
