ghetto mentality

Someone who spends all their money on useless or depreciating items instead of saving or investing it. Typically they buy nice things to try to signal to others that they are rich, when they actually come off as poor to those who actually are rich. They almost always live way beyond their means, and are typically in massive amounts of debt. Their income is usually not from a stable source.
