That’s not true that no middle class working adults can afford to spend 3000 on furniture. Yes it’s stupid expensive for one couch but I was single and a mom most of my adult life and I always bought all kind of furniture. Even when my income was low.

What I did I financed it when they had no tax offer and/ or low or no interest offers and then paid every month. And then I was done paying.

But the point is he has to do it. He has no mortgage, no kids, no other big purchases, he has to buy stuff or go without. You don’t need to always get stuff. If he can’t get the couch, there will be no couch
