I worked with a lady that was married to a guy with a high paying job at a local tire manufacturing plant. They would go on some expensive vacation every year, and charge it on credit cards. As soon as the old vacation was paid off, they went on a new bigger and better vacation. I asked her why not skip the vacation for one year, and save the money and pay ZERO interest to the credit card company, and make interest on the savings account. She recoiled in in horror at the thought of no vacation for a whole year. I just shook my head in amazement. They usually bought a brand new car every 4 years. Not a dream car, just the car with the lowest monthly payment, and they were always upside down on the cars, and never paid one off, but they had a new car every 4 years to avoid the maintenance costs! Again I shook my head.

They went out "partying" and drinking every Friday night to unwind and because they deserved it!. They were often running to the utilities to pay off the utility bill before they were cut off, and waiting until payday to go buy groceries.
