[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 7 mil, 3 homes, a nice trust and a Bal Harbour condo worth a ton when my Dad passes as well as more in stocks options. I roll around in my late brother's 2004 Honda Accord and could give a darn about impressing anyone. I know no one will ever believe me if I told them. They are already flabbergasted I own 3 houses in Clarksburg that I rent out and live in one that I absolutely love. I am just thankful to be alive and love surprising people with nice gifts and sweet treats from time to time. [/quote]

Only 7m? You’re not rich. [/quote]

This. We have 7m and still work.[/quote]

Good for you but that was not the point. The point he made was that he drives a modest car not a flashy one.

I know many people with less money who drive much more expensive cars.

That’s hardly a point. Our hhi is around 5.5 million a year and we live in a neighborhood where a $10 million dollar house is normal. Only the help drive Hondas  :lol: [/quote]

You're new money. That's fine, you're still rich, but new money tends to drive flashy cars. Old money does not.

I'm 45 and I'm on the third car I've ever had. The one I got at age 16 was my dad's for 7 year before I got it. I kept it for 8 years. The next car I had for 10, this car I've had for 11. I could afford a new car every year but it would offend me to spend money on that. [/quote]

This is true, but it is also regional. I grew up in Greenwich Ct and it was the case. My parents drove a Toyota Corolla hatchback that they kept for years and years. My best friend drove her mom's huge blue Volvo to school. This was 100% the norm. Only drug dealers from Stamford had cars that were red.

But in Los Angeles, where I live now, people are a lot more car conscious. Tesla, Tesla, Tesla. And for the older generation Mercedes and BMWs[/quote]

I'm PP and I grew up in LA. There were plenty of Mercedes and BMWs in my private school's parking lot (I had one of them) but they were all older. Everyone I knew got a car when they turned 16. None of them were new. [/quote]
