Very true. One thing I see in our industry (which is the ultimate luxury item ) is that you get people who start making some money, then they run out and buy a house and a car and big screen and run up a ton of debt then their income drops off and they lose it all. to them having those things is the most important thing they can think of. Something I have noticed is that the people that can least afford it are often the ones that are the most materialistic.
