It's simple, it's called debt. I knew someone like that at one time. She was always flying off to somewhere or on some trip. Always wondered how she did it as she had just a regular job. After a few years, she kinda disappeared, bumped into her a few times and she had stopped with all the travel, I guess the bills had finally caught up to her.
I still run into a few people like that, fully leveraged on their credit report, just making enough to pay the minimums and afford rent so no lates on their credit reports. Still rented them the apartment because the roommate had no debt and good credit. Still talks of liking to travel and how having roommates is good so they don't spend that much on rent.
