Money spent on bars, strip clubs or golf doesn’t visibly get piled up like that….

Well, this does ring true in a sense.
I'm in the carpet cleaning industry. Upon going to one customer's house, she says her husband is deceased and this will be one of her last times needing the carpet cleaned, as she's having it replaced after she sells "his old truck".
In the garage was a pristine, bagged 56 Ford F100... I estimated well north of 100k invested.
So, she wanted the truck gone... for new carpet.
Wonderful customer btw... she really did know what it was and spent time talking with me about it. Noone in her family knew anything about them, and he sent it out to get everything done so she didn't want the hassle or to be taken advantage of.
