[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our income is more than three times yours  land I don't wear designer stuff because ... I don't want to. I think it's gaudy to wear tons of jewelry and/or recognizable brands. [/quote]

Same. The show offs are usually in debt. [/quote]

This.

Spending money does not equal having money. Of the three snobbiest people in my neighborhood ie very concerned about right car (mercedes, range rover, some expensive sports car, clothes, expensive vacations etc) 2 lost their homes to foreclosure and one almost did.[/quote]

I have friends like this. Over the years they have leased Mercedes, a Jaguar, expensive Jeeps and so forth. The more 'aspirational' part of the couple brags about their trips riding the Orient Express and how they 'never ride in the back of the bus' i.e. only flying first class. They have at best a nice middle-class income but it is swallowed up by the above and buying art and antiques at auction. They have lost two homes to foreclosure.

The very epitome of looking rich as opposed to being rich. One of them is still working his tail off at 70 with no plans to ever retire because they can't afford to.[/quote]
