No they aren’t
As income levels rise, addiction falls, almost linearly. We know this to be true.

You have some trusting neighbors if most around you share all their financial data with you.
My thoughts are that you should buy what you want and makes you happy as long as you don’t owe anyone else money as a result (pay your bills).

Well, that isn't true at all.
But you know that.

I actually gain most of my strokes off the tee. Decently long (168ish average ball speed) and pretty straight

Sorry, I should have used my sarcasm font.

There's no way you're straight

Money is a useful tool, but a lousy God.
If you have a problem you can write a check for, you don't have a problem, you have an expense.
I've had a few of the latter, and I couldn't do a damn thing.

Real wealthy people have robust investments and savings accounts and drive 10 year old Toyotas
Harris Rosen was a wealthy Orlando hotelier. he owned 8 hotels. Probably 5 of them were worth a billion each.
I last saw him about 10 years ago. He was leaving work, driving his 10–12-year-old Nissan Maxima.

Other than billionaires...actually everyday wealthy people don't act like that....its those living on credit or who those posturing living 1 paycheck from destruction who act like that...

their clothes
This shite right here with a 12 year old and a 10 year old is killing me. They want all the top end stuff like Nike and I'm seeing Reebok in Walmart thinking I could save a ton of money.
But they'd get labeled the "walmart clothes kids" in school and I'm not trying to make their life that difficult. I can't wait for the next few years where they can get jobs and buy their own shite like that while I focus on their big ticket items like education.

Welcome to the OT where people signal their wealth to other people.
Posted on 6/29/25 at 4:09 pm to Slippy
In my experience, wealthy people prefer to hide their wealth.

These types of threads are bait for you.
I've always thought there was a pretty big distinction between actual class and ostentatious behaviors.

They share their various account balance statements with you?
