People who brag about how much they've spent on everything typically are fake rich. These people sound like stereotypical $30k millionaires.

Little Johnny is an inspiring future Bass Master so the mom went out and financed a boat. They've had it for three years and it's probably been in the water five times.

It's a bragging prop to point at and brag, too bad your kid doesn't have a boat.

Stupid

My dad's cousin and her husband are like this.

Every year, they send out an old school Christmas card and letter to share about their "blessings" from the past year, such as country club events, new cars, or exotic vacations. Photos included.

Then they'll throw in a brief sentence or two about their kids at the very end. Photos not included. It's not like their kids are deadbeats or anything either.

1. Your friend works in the oilfield in some capacity, I can almost guarantee it.

2. He's financed to the gills and will never be able to retire.

From working service industry for too many years, the people that brag about this shite are the ones up to their eyeballs in debt, finance everything, have no savings and are a broken fridge away from bankruptcy.

I hope this is a joke. I get not having one sitting in the driveway but should it matter where they keep it if not in the neighborhood?

It's pretty easy to mess with insecure people like that.

You should've given her a "pfff" as if to say you were completely unimpressed every time she volunteered one of those costs.

Alternatively, you could've started picking out random items from their house and asking how much they cost. Dustpan, roll of toilet paper, maybe a random door.

Do they post on TD? If not get them to sign up. They sound like the perfect candidate for the OT.

It sounds like it no longer runs and is worth about half. That works out to be $2700, per trip, on the water.

You need to remind your buddy, in his wife's presence, that if it flies, floats, or fricks, it is way cheaper to rent it.

That should take care of getting invited over anymore.

Do they live in Lakeview? I know a guy who owns a landscaping company and he needed extra help on an install a couple months ago. The job probably cost about $12k. And the wife drove a black Escalade. I didn’t see a boat though.
I might know who you’re talking about
