Oh, I know of plenty of couples like that. I also know of plenty of couples who's instance on a luxury lifestyle has led to heavy debts. According to a family member who lived in the wealthiest part of my town, most of the neighbours had debts of at least £500,000 (not including Mortgage, which could have been up to £1m with some of the houses), yet they all had the latest flash cars, designer clothes and latest gadgets. They also had cleaners, nannys etc and went on expensive holidays.
