They gave us a pretty good lecturing about our expenses as well. While they had a point in some areas, I tried to explain to them that we used to make a lot of money and could afford these things (nice cars) but now we don't anymore and are stuck with the payments. They were like, you need to get rid of those cars. I explained to them that I'd been paying them for four years, they're almost payed off - why would I sell them now? I've since almost payed one off and refinanced the other but they didn't understand that logic and thought I should just dump them. Annoying.

They also gave me SH** about my grocery/food budget (200 a week for family of three). I was like OK, I guess I could get that down but don't make me feel like an AHO** for feeding my family. I live in Los Angeles where food expenses are very high. Especially nowadays. They pretty much shamed me and my wife.
