You’re humble bragging that you drive two faux luxury Chinese cars? |
Even if you knew me in real life, you would assume my income is more like $350k. I'm an attorney working as a partner for an accounting firm, earning $1.3m. I work 100% from home, and my standard uniform is yoga pants and a hoodie. People usually assume I'm a SAHM and I don't correct them unless there is a specific reason to. We've never bought a new car, and are generally not all that conspicuous in our consumption: big house but in a low-key neighborhood, public schools, etc. |
Minivan forever! |
Good for you. I don't earn 7-figures, but I have a tenant who does. They earn a little bit more than you but are constantly traveling around the world for work. It's a good thing I have a smart-home system so I can let in service workers remotely because my tenant is always away. If you have a WFH, 7-figure job, congrats but my statement still stands that "those very high-paying jobs *USUALLY* require lots of hours and/or sacrifices." |
It's not about HHI vs car for us. We drive a Toyota vs a solid hhi just because I don't want to spend time fixing it and taking it to a shop. It's more about the time saved. I can't imagine spending $60k+ for a car and constantly wasting time in the shop with repairs. |
And you think telling us this is supposed to impress? You’re basically committing fraud at the expense of your clients. I wear a suit and tie, drive into the office every day, work for the Department of Justice, and put people like you in prison for a living. It’s only a matter of time before your malfeasance catches up with you. |
200k HHI. 2015 Toyota Corolla. Plus one spouse commutes by bicycle as well as one college kid when home on breaks. If we really wanted to, we'd go car-less though in our suburb, it wouldn't be easy. |
Why is that humble bragging? They literally answered the question I will spare you my details (though many of my neighbors have the same set up so it can't be that humble or showy) It's just a thread of interest, not of showing off |
DP Is this some sad attempt at being funny? |
170k, 2015 Acura TLX. I paid cash for the car 6 years ago when I purchased it. I never want a note again and plan to drive it until the wheels fall off. |
Why do people assume expensive cars are always in the shop? I drove a Mercedes. I get a new one every 3 years. I got a flat recently, pushed a little button in the car, and a guy came out and changed my tire for free. I was home and hour later. So easy. When it needs an oil change once a year, I drop it off, get a loaner Mercedes and go about my day. |
13 yr old Hundai Santa Fe. HHI 550K and NW $4M. (husband drives a 7 yr old Ford sedan) |
$700-800k HHI. 1 Volvo, 1 Toyota |
