Saw an old lady getting out of a BMW X7 M60i (the high performance version). I asked her what made her choose the M60i and she just said “I dunno, the salesman said it was the best one they had”.

    It’s technically possible, but an absolutely terrible idea. That mindset will keep them poor in the future. See: $100k truck parked next to trailer home, hemi charger on military base, Range Rover in the hood.

      This is part of my broader point. Nothing in OP’s story suggests the old lady is actually flush with cash; she just has a bitchin’ car. She could be an idiot who signed on for 45% APR. Seeing someone with a nice car doesn’t mean they’re actually rich.
