One example I see a lot in my industry is in leasing expensive cars. They get bored with theirs after a year so they ditch it for the most expensive on the lot. Or they want to make it seem like they could afford a car that is 50,000. Which isn't horrendously wrong I guess, but kind of self defeating if you are parking in in your parents driveway
