I wonder if it's due in part to an acclimation to residential rent and car leases. I consider myself very financially disciplined, and would never lose sight of the outstanding principal and interest rate of a loan, but I have no idea how much I've paid the landlords of my current rental apartment over the past few years. Like the woman in the article, I don't really fancy thinking about it.

It's not useful to cry over spilt milk. OTOH, it's positively uplifting to contemplate the state of having saved thousands of dollars, or having paid down your debts by thousands.
