[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think anybody “flaunts” it, people just buy/do expensive things. For themselves or their rich friends to whom it’s a hobby, not a flaunt. [/quote]

Oh, people definitely flaunt it.

Take your family on a luxurious trip to Europe: just living the high life.
Post photos of said trip on social media: flaunting it.[/quote]

So someone who takes a budget trip to Europe and posts on social media is "not flaunting it" but someone who takes a luxurious trip is?  Remember for them, that is simply their major vacation for the year and they want to share it with their friends and family just the same as someone does if they go to DELMARVA beach for a week and rents a condo.    It's not always flaunting it, it's just them living their life.

+1. Believe it or not - it is not always about you![/quote]

Yup!  But I get what OP is saying for some things.  I have Family who constantly post photos of them in the First class lounge, first class seats on Europe/Asia flights, and then staying at very high end hotels with posts that definately includes the name of hotel.  I know they are doing it to show off/ensure everyone knows they are doing it high end.  Whereas we actually are probably worth way more than those family members.  however, we just post family photos while on vacation, without tagging our location every step of the way.  I think there has only been one time (years ago before we were worth so much) that we posted about being UPGRADED to Business/first, and only then it was because "how nice to have gotten the upgrade since we are now stuck waiting for 2+ hours before we get clearance for takeoff due to weather at the destination", so photo of drinking bubbly while we waited.  But I'm not posting about sitting in first class lounges or raving that I'm at the Four seasons this and Oberoi that somewhere in Asia.  [/quote]
