Perfect example of how "living paycheck to paycheck" can be the result of idiotic decisions. I am sure that they "needed" to have a new car. In this case 2 of them that were electric. While I am sure they thought that their purchase of a vehicle that requires strip mining for rare earth metals was "good for the environment," I bet they also thought they would save money by not having to buy gas.

I do not have sympathy for those who make such poor decisions.
