Yes, and yes. They believed what were essentially slick second hand
car salesmen, both with their extravagant homes and mortgages.

Any reasonably intelligent person should be able to figure out for
himself if he can afford a purchase.

Operative word is "should". Never had the experience of a salesperson
selling you more than you went in for?? Be really honest. Maybe he
explained the benefits of this or that option that you hadn't thought of
really well, and you did decide to go for it. Not that you couldn't
have done without, but it seemed like a good idea. Like Ed Pawloski's
(sorry if I misspell) new car with built-in NAV gadget.
