Being fiscally responsible and selling insurance for a living, this really gets my goat.
Rant over.

I had a guy that worked on my team. His son was graduating basic in Texas, and he wanted to be there. So he opened a GFM to raise money for the trip. It was written as if he was your typical, salt of the earth, hard scrabble income, kinda guy.
Thing is, the guy was actually an extremely well paid software developer. It was impossible that going was beyond his means.
