I work with a bunch of guys that are on well under £30k salaries, living with parents or in cheap rented accommodation but are driving £40k, 50k and 60k motors.
This is something I don't understand at all (I don't really understand car obsession full stop), round here people live in absolute shit holes but have 60k plus motors, washing and waxing it every other day.
It blows my mind that anyone would prioritise spending on a car over their house.

Isn't that just symptomatic of modern day society, stretch yourself with as much finance as you can

Don't know how new it is either, 12 or 13 years ago I knew a guy that was living with his parents and waiting till he'd paid off the finance on his Range Rover sport thing before moving into a flat. He told me his finance payments were something like £450 a month which would have been plenty to rent a decent place up here (Glasgow) at the time and more than my mortgage payments were when I bought a place a few years later.
