I know people my age with $100k or more on their line of credit, little to no savings, driving new financed trucks and think they're going to retire in a few years.

Not a clue.

why though.

That looks like a question, though I'm not sure if it is, and if it is, what is it questioning?

the rule of economics is dont borrow more then you can afford on a depreciating asset regardless if you can afford it now, can you afford if it you lose your job tomorrow? become injured? die?

In business ventures often times money needs to be spent that in order to make money and you run at a loss for the first while.

For individual banking generally not living outside your means is a good choice for sustainable living. This is especially important when buying a depreciating asset like a car
