WTH?

How do people legally get away with this crap?

"Lisa and Stephen Furry have hit financial rock bottom, even though they're not acting like it. The couple filed for bankruptcy a little more than a year ago, wiping out $50,000 in credit card debt, yet their household spending outstrips their income. They shop at Whole Foods, spend freely on beauty products and splurged on a wedding anniversary getaway to Santa Barbara — at a four-star hotel.....'

".....Even without the house payments, Hartman figured the Furrys were spending as much as $1,000 more a month than was coming in...."


"....Lisa spent about $275 a month on beauty products and services.....'


".....The couple's pets, which include a rabbit, cost about $200 a month....."

After bankruptcy filing, couple's spending continued - Los Angeles Times

Why not? They are simply following Obama's "leadership".

I wish my pets only cost 200 bucks a month.

Why is anyone surprised? When you create a world bereft of real consequences, people will act accordingly.

lol. Maybe they're trying to "stimulate" their income and "spread the wealth around".

If it were me, that rabbit would have been hossenfeffer stew a long time ago.

The reality check will come with a foreclosure notice. Mom needs to get an outside job, and send the kid to school. Stop going to Whole Foods, shop at a regular Grocery store, buy generic cosmetics, and cook the rabbit.

Works for me.

Unfortunately irresponsible behavior like this is not uncommon. People like this want immediate gratification and have no discipline.
