A Reddit user recently sparked a firestorm in r/MiddleClassFinance after posting about a financial standoff with her husband. The couple brings in a combined income of $95,000 a year, rents for $2,200 a month, and carries $15,000 in student loans and $8,000 in credit card debt. Despite having just $12,000 in savings, her husband wants to finance a brand new $60,000 pickup truck.
