Many people, low-income wage earners to high-income wage earners, are in financial trouble because too much of their money goes to buy things that glitter. We have all heard of poor kids spending $150 for a new pair of name-brand athletic shoes. On my inspection tours of apartment houses I am interested in buying, I always find name-brand screen TV sets and video games in many of the apartments. I have friends who live in name-brand suburbs, drive European cars, and send their kids to private schools. In other words, when you look at their expense and liability columns, they are awash with glitter.
