      So, the status of one’s car or celphone payments often have little to do with whether one is or is not struggling financially.

        The point isn’t to equate cars or phones with economic status or how well you’re doing financially. It is to illustrate to the people who may be struggling if they have a newer model car or cell phone that they need to get rid of those things because they cannot afford them financially. It may be it may alleviate some of their problems with finances. if they spend within their bracket and not overspend or consumerism.
