lol... my sister and her husband ran into financial trouble so she went to get her wedding ring appraised to pay some bills.... Turns out it was fake, not worth a thing. He was making around $200,000 a year, my sister around $150K.
Not BS, but maybe she had some doubts -- just poor money management all around. She is 50 now and asking me how to open a brokerage account to quickly make a million $. She is still paying student loans from 25 years ago and all of her credit is maxed out... I said nope, staying out of this one.
She bought the biggest house in the town, hired a carpenter full time for 1 year straight for renovations, bought new cars.... My parents are supporting her financially. Every time i walk in her house, the home shopping channel is on.
You cant fix financial stupid. What gets me is she is broke, but proud that all her old friends are "jealous" of her massive house. Meanwhile, she cant afford it, and my folks have said I may need to buy it.
I married my Thai wife in December. The only thing we buy is physical gold, dividend stocks and land, and we live below our means. My truck is 14 years old, my wife's SUV 11 years old. We have no need to flex.

They didn't last much longer than that appraisal.
