Bankrupt And Broke, Americans Still Want It All @Forbes
It’s not that the Beverly Hillbillies can’t sometimes afford the luxuries of Beverly Hills, because they can. Many of them drive brand new cars, wear their Tag Heuer as a status wrist band and have all gone to the Caribbean and dished out the $150 for a 20 minute massage with hot rocks. It’s just that they borrowed 10 times for it. It’s not that the Madison Avenue crowd can’t afford to shop there, because they can. But most of them have borrowed even more to do so. Like Donald Trump, the only ‘billionaire’ who has to do a TV show to earn a living, are we really that rich? Or can we no longer afford ourselves?
