You haven't answered the question. In what way does a luxury SUV change your practical, everyday life? I get that it's probably a confidence boost to an insecure self esteem that needs to be showered with things to make them feel better, but does a Mercedes SUV really add that much value driving in your daily life, than say, a Honda SUV? I know it's tough to imagine that my questions aren't rooted in "jealousy," because I could easily go out and get one in cash today. I genuinely don't understand the difference as significant.[/quote]

I'm not sure what part of 'comfort, safety, quality of construction, technological innovation, features you have trouble with understanding.

The Mercedes has more comfort, safety, quality of construction, technological innovation, features than the honda[/quote]

NP, I am not a car person or a luxury goods person, but i get easily stressed driving. This is obvious to me. A smoother, safer ride. It just feels better and it really does add to the quality of life every day if you drive every day! GPS, heated seats, great sound system, screens in back for the kids, the new car smell. This is somewhere to spend the money IF it will improve your life (only you can decide) and if you can afford it.[/quote]

I drive 15 miles a day. Since I spend 30 minutes a day in the car, I don't care how much better the Mercedes is than my Honda. Capiche?[/quote]

How much are you driving that this would even make a regular difference? Oooohhh the seat warmer heats up 25 seconds faster. Totally worth it!  :roll:

Fixed it for you[/quote]

Over a million cash in the bank, so I don't think so. But keep telling yourself that hon  :D  Yes yes, everyone's just jealous of you. Got it  :lol: [/quote]

1/200 Americans have a net HHI over 1.5 million. Your bank account isn't as impressive as you think[/quote]

+1 Tired of $200K HHI families bragging about how superior they are to the "one paycheck away  from bankruptcy Joneses" with their fancy lifestyle  :oops: . No the Joneses make $200K a month and think you are a poseur.[/quote]

Can't find the original post, but there is a big difference between an Honda and a Mercedes. I have no idea why you are bragging about having $1 million in the bank, so do plenty of other people.[/quote]

I don't think PP was trying to impress anyone by saying (s)he has a million in the bank.  Way to totally miss the point lol.  The point is PP could buy a Mercedes, but yawn a car is such a boring thing to spend money on.  I'm a 30 y/o attorney and can afford whatever car I want, but I honestly don't know anyone under 35 who even cares about luxury cars anymore.  I associate expensive cars with boring stuff old rich white boomers like.  Nowadays people with money buy close to transit and don't even have to drive all that much.

Also, I think it's funny how in this thread people with 200k incomes are being bashed as poor "poseurs" and in another thread people with 200k HHI are bashed for being upper middle class and told they shouldn't complain about money![/quote]

$200K is a middle class lifestyle. People aren't impressed when you try to pretend to be rich in Potomac with it. It stops being cute when you're 10.[/quote]

Then go inform the people over on the money forum who insist that people with a 200k HHI are upper middle class.  I have a 200k HHI, but with mortgage, student loans, childcare, etc. I certainly don't feel upper middle class around here and would never pretend to be rich.  But that's okay because I really don't have any desire to be rich if it means being as stuck up as you, PP.  What do you care if people "pretend" to be rich (whatever that means).  Are you worried about accidentally associating with someone who isn't rich so you need them to act poorer than you?  And what in the world does it mean they it stopped being cute when you're 10??  That doesnt even make sense -- are children going around in Potomac pretending their rich or something?

I'm so glad I'm just not that obsessed with how much money other people make like you clearly are ... I don't have a need to differentiate myself by being rich and calling out people who aren't.  That is just weird and makes you seem insecure.[/quote]
