There are demographic and economic segments of society in which it’s more important to have a flashy car and score the best tickets than it is to have a decent place to live.

I wear shorts and flip flops every day, have a beard past my shoulders, and own two successful businesses.
If you saw me at the grocery or outside the dome with my kid, you’d prob think I’m homeless and judge me.
Judge not, lest you be judged.
This ain’t 1950.
You don’t have to be a clean shaven, non-inked male to make money.

I don't know. Ask them to get an answer to your question.

I put about $3800 a month into investments. How much you think these people save a month?

Years ago I think 60 mins or something did a segment on the Raiders fans that's part of the black hole..



These folks..

And they had like 10 or 15 of them.. And one dude was a software engineer, another one worked for a hedge fund, etc, etc. They all had pretty good jobs so I wouldn't just assume someone is low income just by the way they dress at a football game.

I’m not trashy like that but I certainly don’t look like a corporate hairgel douche and I live very comfortably. Just FYI, the corporate world absolutely fricks their workers and pays you pennies. There are a lot of ways to make $100,000+ a year that don’t involve being the Assistant Regional Assistant to the General Manager at Staples

I'm confused. Are people supposed to wear suits and ties to games? How are you judging income based on appearance?

Pretty easy to spot the lower class rich.

For instance, Lower class Mexicans will make $150k, live in a multigenerational shanty with 12 people, and park their $100k truck out front. You will see them at NFL games wearing their $1k watch and designer jeans, paired with an authentic NFL Jersey and baby white kicks. Ain’t no thing to spring for the premium seats.

Because you’re watching random Sunday games on week 1…

The corporate crowds keep those tickets when the games mean something

I have wondered that myself.

Those seats are hundreds of dollars for 1 much less a couple seats.

I definitely can’t afford to go to a game in those seats

In my line of work I encounter a lot of wealthy people. Some wear silk suits. Some of them look like they live under an overpass. You can't always tell by appearances.

Have a relative that has enough money that he has chartered a jet to g o to the Super Bowl a couple of times, wears nothing but jeans, work boots, ball cap, and a T-shirt, or button down depending on the occasion,

key is to not have any kids so you can spend that extra on yourself.


If not having kids would make a significant change in a person’s financial status, they are not making any real money.

Average peeps usually have a side hustle to pay for extra stuff they want. Mine is buying houses cheap, minimal renovation and flipping them to pay for vacations and support my knife and gun collections although that is getting less and less profitable by the day.
