    I believe this happens to everyone in the beginning. Some just wake up sooner than others. Two root causes I believe are the issue.

    1. Marriage and/or romance
    2. Perception, jealousy, and trying to be in the cool crowd, perpetrated by things like Instagram and Facebook.

    I have a friend that is 32 years old and lives with his parents. He makes $40k a year and has a brand new bmw 5 series. Almost every single person I know lives a crappy life with a low income and has crazy expensive $1000 belts, wallets, $2500 purses, etc.

    Me personally fell into number 1. I’m a stingy spender and buy top quality stuff only when I need it and budget well. 90% of my income went to growing my business. Then I somehow end up with a woman with an appetite for things that cannot be satisfied. We have no kids and live in a 3,000sqft house and we use none of it. We don’t even have furniture in 2 of the 3 living rooms. Very soon I will sell the house, buy some land and build a tiny home and enjoy being single.

    I got caught in the divorce Trap 15 years ago with my wife taking my only son.

    Never felt so powerless with the control I lost to the courts , her attorney, and my Crooked attorney.

    Florida is a 50/50 state but her attorney and her were out to bleed me with my attorney fees.

    I got so fed up with the way things were going and soo sick of my attorney screwing with me I called her up and told her I will give her everything but one vehicle and my boat and pay $900 in child support .

    Figured it was better for her to get the money than my Scumbag attorney.

    She walked with a house a mile from the beach and a large desirable piece of property 1/2 mile from the beach, both nearly paid for.

    I signed off on the deeds the next day upon her and her attorneys insistence.

    A year later I get a knock on the door and served with papers for nonpayment of a second mortgage for 250 we had opened on the house but never used.

    She had lost her job during the crash and stuck it to me.

    She abanded the house sold the lot way to cheap and went traveling.

    Destroyed my perfect credit.

    As my dad used to say

    Easy Come - Easy Go

    Dang. I know it's not much but you'll have the last laugh as you'll see her decaying last decades. Specially if she didn't trap another man. Hopefully your son learns to spot the warning signs and stays away from women like that.

    I am convinced all women have no Souls. There are just ones who have not discovered that yet.

    Careful before the "not All" crowd shows up. But I agree. Our past generations had a tighter grip on them (gee wonder why) but somehow someone decided to "liberate them". Here we are now. Men powerless and victims of the system they built.

    Nobody batted an eye that the person is working 16 hour days for 7 days a week. Instead, the focus is on how they're living beyond their means.
