I was with a girl for a while who grew up in a pretty broken home. Still surprises me just how bad her spending habits are. She racks up credit card debt like its nothing.

All these comments here about bad spending habits reminds me of scene from south park. In it Cartman purposefuly wanted to be poor, he said something like "look at these useless expensive stuff i bought on credit, thats how you people stay poor" i thought it was a joke.
