[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No I cannot. I've been surprised by well dressed well traveled (internationally) people who enjoy other finer things in life but turns out they don't have any DP to purchase even a tiny condo at age 39, and even incurred CC debt. Or it turns out they live in a rental in Springfield though they portray the first impression of having bought a single house before age 32 in NW or Bethesda or N Arlington or Mclean or Pitomac or something.

I've also been surprised by the opposite. Dressed down, dpwn to earth personality, even looks like they rolled out of bed some days, almost no money spent on hair makeup clothes, then got invited to their house which turnedout to be a 1.7 mil new build in Mclean. [/quote]

I think it is a perfect example that all people are different and have different values. For me it is sad to see people spend $1.5 mil for house and never been outside of US, or color their hair at home. Life is short. None of my kids will probably want to live in the large house after we dead. I don't like stuff, but i like fine things (like fine cashmere, hand crafted shoes, feeling of the silk on my body). I would rather have the small joys of life and travel around the world, then live in mcmantion in McLane. [/quote]

Everyone has different priorities. We have a nice home, drive luxury cars and like to travel. I don't spend a ton of money on clothes. I do like shoes and handbags but I get like 1 or 2 per year. We have a seven figure income and dress down and comfortably most of the time. I doubt anyone thinks we have money.[/quote]
