Many posters here claim to have detailed knowledge of the finances of their friends, family members, neighbors and even random people they see in public. It’s amazing.

Why is that amazing? You see enough blue collar workers and their wives who work at the quick stop or whatever living a lifestyle that I can't comfortably afford making well north of six figures and it's not difficult to deduce that tons of them are in an astronomical amount of debt. Sure, one or two of those families could be independently wealthy from an inheritance or something, but you see it again and again and again and it's just logical.
