Why do people assume expensive cars are always in the shop? I drove a Mercedes. I get a new one every 3 years. I got a flat recently, pushed a little button in the car, and a guy came out and changed my tire for free. I was home and hour later. So easy. When it needs an oil change once a year, I drop it off, get a loaner Mercedes and go about my day.

170k, 2015 Acura TLX. I paid cash for the car 6 years ago when I purchased it. I never want a note again and plan to drive it until the wheels fall off.

I will never believe that there are this many people that earn seven figures. And are so casual about it – “over a mil.”
Sorry, I don’t believe you people. And yes, I do think you’re lying on an anonymous board to make yourselves feel better.
Why? $1M these days is just upper middle class. Two doctors together can pull in a combined salary of $1M. Or a physician + lawyer, lawyer + accountant, small business owner + doctor.
It's basically just two higher end professional degrees or business owners.
Well, for starters, those very high-paying jobs usually require lots of hours and/or sacrifices. Two such jobs are not conducive to a peaceful family life, so you often end up with a $500K earner and a $150K earner, thus falling well short of seven-figure-land.
That's just ONE reason I think most of you are full of it.
Even if you knew me in real life, you would assume my income is more like $350k. I'm an attorney working as a partner for an accounting firm, earning $1.3m. I work 100% from home, and my standard uniform is yoga pants and a hoodie. People usually assume I'm a SAHM and I don't correct them unless there is a specific reason to. We've never bought a new car, and are generally not all that conspicuous in our consumption: big house but in a low-key neighborhood, public schools, etc.
And you think telling us this is supposed to impress? You’re basically committing fraud at the expense of your clients. I wear a suit and tie, drive into the office every day, work for the Department of Justice, and put people like you in prison for a living. It’s only a matter of time before your malfeasance catches up with you.

Is this some sad attempt at being funny?

Why is that humble bragging? They literally answered the question
I will spare you my details (though many of my neighbors have the same set up so it can't be that humble or showy) It's just a thread of interest, not of showing off

200k HHI. 2015 Toyota Corolla. Plus one spouse commutes by bicycle as well as one college kid when home on breaks. If we really wanted to, we'd go car-less though in our suburb, it wouldn't be easy.

It's not about HHI vs car for us. We drive a Toyota vs a solid hhi just because I don't want to spend time fixing it and taking it to a shop. It's more about the time saved. I can't imagine spending $60k+ for a car and constantly wasting time in the shop with repairs.

Good for you. I don't earn 7-figures, but I have a tenant who does. They earn a little bit more than you but are constantly traveling around the world for work. It's a good thing I have a smart-home system so I can let in service workers remotely because my tenant is always away.
If you have a WFH, 7-figure job, congrats but my statement still stands that "those very high-paying jobs *USUALLY* require lots of hours and/or sacrifices."
