As noted above, Savings have a finite limit.

Oh. Absolutely. I also never said they did, only that there is a suggestion they did. Let's face it. Many people think they are living within their means if they can pay the interest on their credit cards. They may or may not have been living like this, but if you can go from a cushy lifestyle to relying on a food bank in a period that is too short to sell your car it does suggest that perhaps your car (or your mortgage) was too expensive in the first place.
