I just read that people are once again using their homes as piggy banks... there were numbers to back up the claim.
I find this absolutely STUNNING.... apparently "we" never learn from our past mistakes.

We are a materialistic society. I can understand it to an extent as I think we all suffer from it but I personally believe too many people have taken it way too far.
Today I just saw a new GMC Escalade advertised for $71k. I had no idea they cost so much. That's a stupid amount of money to pay for that vehicle yet they are everywhere. There's no way all the people owning them can truly afford them. But, we live in a gotta have it society. It's going to harm us all again.
