I've heard this explanation my whole life and it doesn't make sense to me.
I like many on this board have always struggled to understand how people can seemingly afford much more expensive lifestyles when I know that I make as much if not more than they do. The common explanation I have heard is that people likely have much more debt.

That explanation makes no sense to me. You pay a LOT MORE when you finance stuff. You can only finance a lifestyle you cannot afford for so long before your debts become due. It seems like the ability to finance stuff you can't afford should dry up after 3-7 years.

What am I missing?
