People who buy Hummers being financially illiterate isn’t really a shock to me. The one douche I knew with an H2 is awaiting sentencing for fraud right now.

I feel pretty confident all that guy's videos are scripted. They're all ridiculous to the point of being unbelievable

Hearing about other people’s poor financial decisions makes me feel better about my own.

Sounds like he'd be a great Saints' salary cap manager.

Just keep kicking the can down the road..

Yeah, IDK if this one is real or not but it is possible.

If you listen to The Dave Ramsey Show you will know that TONS of people are upside down on cars.

EVs are particularly bad.

IDK why broke people don't just get a used Japanese sedan that won't cratter in value.

Smart people make bad financial decisions all the time. The issue normally comes down to 2 things. Women or Gambling.

If I wanted to drop $3300 monthly payment for something I don't need it would at least need to be a beach house or a rental property or something.

I know of at least three people that have done shite just like this.

Bought 100k trucks during Covid and traded them in on being severely underwater b/c of the note.

It’s not quite in the scale of this but there’s plenty of people that don’t get told no in dealerships.

170k for a vehicle is ridiculous.

People enslave themselves to being poor by pretending to be rich.

There's a guy on IG with a podcast named Caleb Hammer that has people on his podcast all the time that have made just god awful financial decisions and are looking for a way out - mostly young millenials/early gen z's and one common denominator through all of their stupidity is cars. Dudes making 20k at an entry level job but buying f250s at $90k or girls working registers that OMGHAVETO have that BMW - all with 15% interest.

There are entire generations of financial IDIOTS out here.

Because he is an actor playing out a real life scenario they have encountered in their industry to create monetized content.
