Luxury poster: You're just jealous because you can't afford [insert luxury car].

Responding Poster: I said I could afford it, but I don't want one.

Luxury poster: You must just really be one of the poors then.

Like the luxury posters cannot fathom someone with the abikity to buy a luxury car might actually want to drive a ford, nissan, etc. And their argument keeps boiling down to "you must be poor if you're not opting to spend the same amount of money on a car as me."

Which is funny, because that is the message these posters clearly want to send when they drive around town in their luxury cars. A lot of us just aren't buying into that message.

What's even funnier is at least one poster who cannot fathom having money that is saved or invested, instead of being spent for "enjoyment." What a lower class outlook.

Which poster was that

I don't ever plan on working. There's a lot of love there, but honestly, I know (and he knows) that the financial aspect of our lives isn't a love question. It's practical and a cost-benefit and I would win regardless (although I would hate having to work again. just hate) if we divorced. Based on child support, he'd be taking a bath if he left. So, we deal. Because in a weird way, we are stuck with each other unless we really, really want to pay. Neither of us do at this moment.

Oooh this is one cynical marital deal. But honest.

What is your plan when the kids turn 18? I can't see this gravy train lasting forever. And honestly, as much as I don't love going to work every single day, your post reminds me that I am soooo glad I am educated, financially secure, and am married to my DH for love and companionship.

There's no shame in not being able to afford a nice car. Just don't pretend that you have a 7 figure HHI and your budget special is better in anyway, we can tell you're lying.

Maybe appropriate as long as it's not the only form of sex education.

I'm not pp, but yes, I have seven figures liquid in my bank account, not including other assets. It's really sad that you can't fathom that buying a "nice car" (or what you perceive as a "nice car") just isn't a goal for people, completely outside of their income or worth. Really, there's absolutely no need for me to lie. I don't spend a lot of time in the car. I have a humble, old-ish that that does the job just fine.

Truly and completely, I have no interest in an expensive "luxury" car. It's simply never been on my radar.

Lol, you're still trying to project and air of superiority and can't grasp that plenty of people with high incomes don't care about driving a luxury car. A luxury car is about as exciting to me as buying a diamond crusted toothbrush. If that is your thing, go for it. But don't assume others care a squat about your silly car or can't/wish they could afford it.

It's a good thing this thread is called "Tell me an Opinion You Have..." Unfortunately for some people their opinions are refuted by data and research.
