You’ve seen it before: the person who buys the latest gadget, drives the flashiest car, or flaunts designer clothes, all in an attempt to emulate the lifestyles of the rich and famous. It looks glamorous on the surface, but it’s a financial disaster waiting to happen.

Now, let’s pause for a moment and consider the scale of this atrocity. We’re talking about estimates of around 2 million women raped in Germany, with 100,000 in Berlin alone.
