Am I missing something here? I thought my iphone and Kindle were major purchases and I had the cash to pay for them out right. How the hell do unemployed people feel they should fork out the cash for luxury items like this?
Am I just not understanding this? Are fancy cell phones and cameras now considered the equivalent of food and shelter?
It's the byproduct of being conditioned since childhood to neglect financial literacy while establishing unhealthy, short-term focused financial habits.
