Simply being consumer driven.

@SW-User yes this is a huge problem…some people will work two jobs to buy status or luxury items to keep up with the Joneses, be too exhausted to cook eat junk or fast food or buffets or precooked frozen entrees which can result in health issues eventually…buy on credit and have to chase the interest that is accruing, not have enough time to spend with their family, be stressed out and tired constantly, get something paid off and replace it with something else that will have payments and interest. And pay a higher rate of taxes because of having two jobs. I know a woman like this. Worked two service jobs on her feet all day and into the night from her 30’s on to pay for a BMW & later two Mercedes, always buying gold & gemstone jewelry amassing so much she rented a bank security box to store it in. Complaining at work to others how tired she was and always bringing up the subject of her car and jewelry to others. Never learned to buy good but less expensive vehicles and pay them off quickly either.
