One of the couples that owned the house across the street from us were a young couple, (30s) and they both worked and had a daughter that was 16. She drove a new high end Volvo and he had a nice Pickup, and a Corvette as a toy, and the daughter had an older Volvo as her car. Almost all the houses in our neighborhood have three car garages, and he kept the cars in the garage, the daughter parked in front of the 3rd car garage door, and the yard well kept. Nice folks. They would go to Hawaii and spend two weeks in a timeshare every year. Then one year the AC system went out and they ended up having to do a full furnace and AC system replacement, followed by the water heater needing replacement followed by replacing the stockade fence replacement. It was too much, and they went into default on the mortgage, and had to sell. They were leveraged that much just to live in a nice house and take two week vacations to Hawaii.
We were sad to see them go as they were nice folks, just spent too much on stupid stuff.
