Ever seen someone try to flex wealth on social media?

So obviously a lot of people post the highlights of their life on social media - vacations, fancy dinners, whatever.

I can think of at least a few of my friends that have posted ads for their homes going up for sale and it seems like an obvious flex. These markets are so hot the home won't be on the market for a week. Presumably if you can afford a 2 million dollar house in your 30s you're probably clever enough to be aware of it.

Just seems like an odd flex to me.

Isn't that what the OT is for?

Sure. Just seems like something odd to put on Facebook. I doubt that helps people sell their house faster in such a hot market.

Instagram is fake wealth central. I have friends who flaunt the things they blow their money on, but they and everyone else know they ain’t rich.

I'm old enough to use any word I want. Let's go with that.

i went to high school with a trust fund baby

all he does is buy 200k vehicles and 500k+ boats and shows himself taking vacations to parts of the Caribbean on instagram and shite

it's annoying when i think about it but i just ignore it

all i know is he reeeeally knows how to spend money, not so much about how to make it

My cousin's 3rd wife (he's loaded) brags on facebook about "our" House, "our" Farm, "our" this and "our that .

He's been burned twice and has all his stuff under an LLC, so none of it is her's and never will be

My buddy does this on Facebook. He does it to show his girlfriend from high school how well he’s doing, says she broke and fat & only 3 people from his class are out earning him as far as he can tell, which means other dudes from his high school are posting shite also. We give him shite about it, otherwise low key normal guy, but something must have happened in high school.

Not insecure at all. Your buddy may be a great guy but he needs to grow up and move on.

Start doing more mature things like posting crap on the OT like me.

Nice “I have wealthy friends” flex.
