No one wants to look cheap in front of the neighbors. Peer pressure
at its best/worst.

Yup.  Now to set this in proper perspective.  In my life, these were
popular when I was a college student working my own way though college.
Divorced parents, no support from 1, other could barely pay bills.  I
used to 'steal' a bill a month and cover it.  I worked fast food at
barely over minimum wage (I was very good so always got a raise but
those jobs are more 'feel good' raises of 10 cents).

When every dime you have is waiting to go on a bill or tuition, you get
smart fast and don't play games like that.   Common sense.  Don't get
in stupid situations that cost money if you don't have any.  At that
time, I didnt.

 
Don't buy what you can't afford. Gimme 5000 DUHs.
