I have to vent this one here since I know people here will appreciate:
My DH and I have a roommate who is a friend from high school. He's a great guy but probably the least mustachian man I've met. He own 3 vehicles by himself; a pickup, a motorcycle, and a car....and he wants a 4th vehicle. His ideal is to have a pickup, a motorcycle, a "fun" car, and a commuter car. Not only that but his ideal would involve replacing his entire fleet since he wants a bigger bike (can't blame him too much there, it's a Ninja 250), a new truck (his is late 80's), and his current car is neither "fun" nor efficient (it's a Pontiac Grand Prix GTP, I guess the supercharger isn't "fun" enough for him *smh*).
His bike is currently parked because he can't afford to fix the fork seals (?) and his truck is JUST moving again after a small engine fire 2 winters ago. When he bought his car he planned on paying it off quickly even though he got a 5 year loan (....on a 7 year old car...) and never got around to making any extra payments on it. He goes out to eat almost every day, gets more mail than we do because of all of his magazine subscriptions, all the while complaining how much he hates his $11/hour job but won't look for a new one (okay, he is starting to look now that the company did an overhaul of his area that made it worse). And I think I hear every month or two "I should have my credit cards paid off by the end of the month"
The sad thing is that I'm an accountant so I hear these details from most of my friends and few of them are much better. I'm actually on a mission to buy a Dave Ramsey book for a friend who wants a new Corvette and is considering either A) a 7 year loan or B) $600/month 39 month lease even though his wife asked me a few months ago if I knew any personal financial advisors to help them with a budget since their money just disappears. I'm actually this close (thumb and forefinger almost touching) to hosting a Dave Ramsey FPU class just for my friends...if only I thought it would help.... :(
