[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of us who are having one cent more than our neighbors and peers are targets. I grew up in a lcol area in the South and when I was in college some acquaintances assumed I had money. I have no idea why, my father died when I was a teen and my mom was a homemaker. I had significant financial aid to go to college. Random bums from high school would find out where I lived an show up at my dorm or apartment expecting me to feed them or pay for abortions or just give them money. This is the crab bucket some of us experienced.

As an adult I've had friends who are terrible with money. I live below my means. When those friends realize I save money, it makes them mad. I'd had one good friend who kept bugging me about how much my car payment was. No one I know where I live at my age has a car payment. We all live in 1m+ homes and pay cash for cars. I avoided answering any questions about it for months and she confronted my dh and I and he was stunned [b]she didn't realize most people pay cash for cars.[/b] It changed our relationship. [/quote]

The vast majority of Americans finance their vehicle purchases, PP.

But do go on about how superior you are compared to the plebes of your hillbilly town.
