I come from a family that doesn't have a whole lot of money.Hillbilly Elegy, 2016
We spend our way to 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.Hillbilly Elegy, p. 123, 2016
