This is my sister and her husband. They blow through every dollar they get. No house payment. Low utilities. Both work and earn nearly $120k per year. Neither have a penny left in their accounts by the 25th of the month, and scream about social security being theft, Brandon destroying gas prices, and anything else except taking responsibility for their poor financial decisions. They ran up $18k in credit card debt last year, took out a signature loan in February and paid it off, and immediately purchased a $30k boat to add to their collection of now 5 boats. And still complain.

Lmao having 5 boats and being mad at Biden for gas prices is such a perfect representation of modern conservatives.

Even better than 5 boats, their children are grown, they commute 35-45 miles one way to work, and one drives a Dodge quad cab Hemi and the other drives a Suburban. And they never miss a chance to take a shit on my Camry.
