J.D. Vance Quotes

This Was My World: A World Of Truly Irrational Behavior. We Spend Our Way Into The Poorhouse. We Buy Giant TVs And IPads. Our Children Wear Nice Clothes Thanks To High-interest Credit Cards And Payday Loans. We Purchase Homes We Don't Need, Refinance Them For More Spending Money, And Declare Bankruptcy, Often Leaving Them Full Of Garbage In Our Wake. Thrift Is Inimical To Our Being. We Spend To Pretend That We're Upper Class. And When The Dust Clears - When Bankruptcy Hits Or A Family Member Bails Us Out Of Our Stupidity - There's Nothing Left Over. Nothing For The Kids' College Tuition, No Investment To Grow Our Wealth, No Rainy-day Fund If Someone Loses Her Job. We Know We Shouldn't Spend Like This. Sometimes We Beat Ourselves Up Over It, But We Do It Anyway.
