Question: Why do people invest a lifestyle with debt!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
A philosophic answer to your question, which I believe has not been understood, is an inherent need for immediate self gratification!. There is an ego element to this, as well as an obsessive/compulsive disorder in many cases!.

Many times we identify ourselves by our possessions!. Young men do this with big, bad cars, thinking that such ownership confers on them the big, bad image!.

A very cute and incredibly accurate statement has been said "The only difference between men and boys is the cost of their toys!"!.

Mind you, women are not excluded from these ranks!.

In the final analysis, there are many reasons for the need to have what you want, at whatever the cost in time, treasury, or consequence, because the inner self demands self satisfaction, and an enhanced image to society!.

If this make sense to anyone, email me!. I am intellectually very lonely!.

Financially, I was doing very well before Hurricane Katrina!. Ever since, I lost everything, & I had to take out loans & credit cards to get the $$ for survival!. I'm still struggling!.

I didn't know I was gonna end up in this predicament!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Emotional or financial debt are made by people who clearly, do not understand right from wrong!. These are people who never say "sorry" or "thank you" and these could be also people who spent more money than what they earn!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Because they inherit it most of the time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
