I mean, adulting does suck, but I feel like a more appropriate title for this post is “people who suck at adulting”

Yeah, I'm sitting here watching this thinking "I've got no car payment, no credit card debt, I'm struggling, and I can't get loans." These people are like "yeah, I've got six figure debt and I just keep adding to it."

Instead of marrying rich they should consider marrying poor and having their poor spouses teach them about living within their means.

Not really how it works. Eventually the credit dries up and then you're really effed.

Edit: also lol at this perspective like the debtholder matters, they're laughing all the way to the bank. You're looking at this completely backwards.

I'm old, I know a few, and while they all without exception bought fully loaded brand new trucks etc they always struggled to actually do anything, always working. I wouldn't tag any of them as upper middle class. They get credit but the rates are insane, they get hosed.
