That is middle class philosophy, which I do not subscribe to. You've got to remember that many who got these sub prime loans were in no position, financially, to pay them back, but, got them anyway. I used to look at the guy who owned a big house and driving a new Lexus or BMW as 'rich'. Now, I shake my head, knowing he's most likely working 2 jobs and struggling to make payments, just to try to impress people.


Oh how I miss that game of keeping up with the Jones's, what a fucked up little head game that is.........

— George W. Bush loved to escape to his ranch in Crawford, Texas, for a break — he spent one sixth of his presidency there. Mr Bush took more time off from the White House than any other US president, spending 1,020 days out of the office, including 490 days at his ranch.
