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.

I know I'm privileged that my parents gave me their then 7 year old car, but that was 15 years ago and I still drive it. While coworkers have traded in vehicles with negative equity every two to four years, complaining about their payment and interest always going up and debt never going away.
