Net worth and type of car

[Anonymous]

I suppose not all the doctors and big firm lawyers are on here. I don’t know a single one of them that doesn’t have an expensive car. My friend an anesthesiologist owns three Porsche’s! My friend from a large DC firm drives a Maserati. He says almost all his partners drive fancy cars.

Almost everyone on my street owns at least 2 Mercedes', BMWs or Teslas.

Those are pretty rare examples of hitting a stereotype. Most big law partners I know drive boring cars --- subarus and mid-grade SUVs.

Drive around McLean or Bethesda up Elm street going out of downtown some time. Some rich people in these places are driving BMWs Range Rovers Mercedes and Porsche. I’ve not seen a high end new construction home without a fancy car. In fact every doctor I can think of I’ve over known drives a Mercedes or Porsche.

Most lawyers I know drive Volvos.

Our neighbors drove two Porsches and all the kids had new BMWs or Jeeps. Then Covid struck and the wife lost her job. Now they’re turning in cars, selling the house, etc. Moral: there’s probably a lot of people spending everything they make. They look “rich” But have very little financial security.

We’re at $2.5 MM w two used Volvos. Both paid for a long time ago. I always felt like we were the less secure financially, etc. Turns out...just the opposite in a sense.

I agree with you that I think a lot of people with the fancy cars are stretched. We also are beginning to see the fault lines with some of the people in our neighborhood. It is hard to watch.

Every realtor I know drives a fancy car that they get to write off.
