They may look wealthier but are they?

I've decided to shorten my post. LatelyI have alot to say but not alot of time because of work.
A week ago my wife got a text from a friend to ask her if she wanted to go grocery shopping.  This friend of hers has a taste for the finer things in life. (Personally i think she wants the best for her adopted kids. Nothing wrong with that until it crosses the line where your actions cause you to ask for charity) She just recently bought a brand new house and spent alot with landscaping.  Before that she bought a near new van calculated at a 320 payment. She's been known to travel alot . Every weekend spent doing something.  She forgot pay day was a day later that week and couldn't go because of that. I bring this up because it just goes to show there are still those who's spending habits catch up with them. She could of easily gone if they weren't living paycheck to paycheck. Even though they look like they're doing well doesn't mean they are not vulnerable to financial drought. Avoid the finer things in life until you can live "below" your means because if you deserve a new house your bank account deserves to not be waiting for a paycheck to pay for life's needs like food.
