You have to math out how much your monthly expenses are for the rest of your life whenever you buy something big. Most people cant do that, so they end up having to sell everything.

People you havent seen in years come around, and you have no idea who is a friend and who is just there for your money. Meanwwhile salesmen and scammers assault you from all sides to try and suck as much out of you as they can.
