[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have enough to be comfortable for life and we have a Subaru and a Chrysler. Have many friends in the same boat. Not trying to prove anything to anyone. Being rich doesn’t necessarily mean you want to hang out with people who want people to know they’re rich. Pretty gauche actually. [/quote]

Two ultra high net worth families that I knew growing up had no obvious displays.  One dad drove an old Land Cruiser.   The other drove a Jeep.  Kids wore t-shirts, jeans, and Chucks and the like.   Nice, but mostly “normal” houses.  I only learned about their wealth over time during conversations about travel or holidays or college plans.  For example, I would hear about the second, third or fourth house somewhere else in the US or the world.  And it’s not like they’re dropping these facts to brag.  I listend and learned by putting the pieces together.  The sky is blue, the grass is green and the other weekend my parents stayed at their home in ____ while we went to our grandparents houses.  Other tidbits became apparent over time - e.g., parents didn’t work for a salary, and the families had owned several companies for several generations.   But all outward signs were “typical” — nothing extraordinary.  [/quote]
