ALL tv shows are unrealistic in that respect...

It's part of the reason so m,any people try and keep up with the jonses and put themselves in debt...thinking that somehow that lifestyle is attainable for anyone who can't make over $200K/year or more.

It's all bullshit.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
