Funny. I actually like the ads I am getting shown on DCUM. Luxury travel, jewelry, interesting products. Your cookies are probably responsible for what you are getting.

There are people who post here with twice this much at this age. I’m not sure op is “incredibly wealthy,” although surely comfortable.

How about this question - Do you think I can afford to take my kids on a trip to Disney or have a little luxury? - I have a billion dollars in investments but I still drive a 10 year old Toyota and shop for my clothes at Costco. My family only eats rice to save money because we feel so poor.
OP. I guess you’re joking but I’m not far off this actually. I have never taken my kids on a big family vacation, they have never been overseas (or to Disney), we drive a 7 year old economy car, I only buy on sale, only eat out with company, no childcare afterschool since first grade (one of us WFH), no gym memberships, no cable, no fancy home renovations, kids will not receive their own cars.
Assuming you are as wealthy as OP this is a lifestyle choice. Depriving yourself unnecessarily to build wealth doesn’t make you poor or even middle class.
