[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have people test driven or been in nicer, newer cars recently? There is a huge difference feature and comfort wise in what some people have. I understand not spending $75k on a new car but the number of people mentioning not so great or outdated cars is surprising. Car safety has also evolved in the last decade plus.[/quote]

+1. The amount of advancement in safety features alone makes owning a newer car a no brainer. I can’t imagine making this much money and not driving newer cars. Safety &gt; frugality [/quote]

Agreed. Many posters on DCUM love to humblebrag about making $2M per year while saving $1M of it, living in a townhouse, and driving 17 year old automobiles and then flaunt these false sacrifices as veritable badges of honor. It’s all just pointless virtue signaling, though, that either reveals sheer stupidity or demonstrates an ignorant inability to optimize forward progression relative to available resources.

Seriously, what kind of moron makes $2M per year and plans to die with $100s of millions left over instead of overseeing distribution to charitable causes during their lifetime?!? What kind of loser makes $1M per year and drives a 10-year old car instead of gifting that car to a truly LMC family and buying themselves a new one? And that lower cost townhouse? Yeah, thanks for stealing away a low cost property in McLean and forcing someone who can’t afford anything more to live in the next available property out in Manassas!![/quote]

So....in your mind rich people must be charitable?  How do you think they got rich? It wasn't by giving money away.  I'm my favorite charity.  I keep the old car because that is my charity to me.  The government takes a huge cut of my money in the form of taxes and redistributed that to services that help the poor. That's my charity.  I'm not Trump; I pay my taxes.[/quote]

No, only ethical and honorable rich people tend to be charitable. I understand that the majority of well-heeled individuals – such as yourself, perhaps – are disgustingly greedy and selfish. Your taxes paid are not a charity. This is your obligation to society as minimal compensation for your deceitful way of life. [/quote]

What exactly is deceitful about EARNING lots of money?  How do you get to rich people=dishonest?  What is unethical about not giving to charity?  You're confusing! I think it is unethical to expect handout or to expect others to give money that is not earned, especially if you are able bodied and sound mind.  You make no sense; must be why you're still poor.[/quote]
