So let me get this straight.
Person A has a ton of money invested, drives a normal car, wears normal clothes, and lives in a normal place. This person is likely very content with their life, and has a very low stress level. They are not very worried about the bumps in life, because they planned and prepared for that.
Person B has no money invested, drives an expensive flashy car, wears expensive trendy clothes, and lives in a fancy place. This person likely has trouble finding comfort in life, and is always stressed about their life. The slightest change in income or health and the house of cards comes tumbling down.
And your argument is that Person A is always bragging? If they do explain how they live, it's usually one on one.. Person B drives around in their brag-mobile every day. They want everyone (especially all the strangers) to see how badass they are. Their $3,000 watch, their $300 jeans, what do you think those things are for? Telling the time?
