So true! The people living in a house that is comfortable but not overbearing and drive a sensible car are quite often the ppl with the higher net worth. My parents old neighbor had like 5 high end cars, big house and his own private jet. Turns out he was way over his head in debt. Filed for bankruptcy then was arrested for embezzling.
