The bottom line is these guys aren't thinking, at all. They simply WANT things. Want want want, with no regard to "should I".
A lot of what you say is true. People buys multiple cars, houses and so on. But we can look no further than our own Joe Gibbs to see that it can hapopen to anyone. I read Joe's first book and couldn't believe some of the bad investments he made. He created quite a mess for him and his family.
