Clapping Larry
My sister is bad with money, but kind of insulated from her decisions thanks to indulgent parents:

Has bitched forever about her rent payment (she lives in downtown LA, hey!). Recently decided to purchase a $675,000 condo in the same area. 1200 square feet.

Because going from a $2200 rental payment to a $3500 (at the low end) mortgage payment is going to help! She literally just sold her car (granted, somewhat unnecessary) to help pay for their honeymoon. Which they deferred to this year because she couldn't find time off work.

I am unsure how much my brother in law earns. He's a hotshot analyst at E&Y, and lives/works in a high cost-of-living area, but considering they've only been together for four years and married for 8 months, I cannot fathom their perspective on putting out near 3/4 million on a piece of property.

I wish this was more of the "amusing" type of story but it's more like the "god damnit are you loving kidding me" kind.
