I bet you have more in savings than that guy next to you driving that lambo!!!
 

Thats just the way the world works. People that do not have money want to appear that they do, people that have money could usually care less so they drive the normal cars maybe something medium nice like a 2007 Acura or something.

I had neighbors growing up that were millionaires and you would never have even known. Now I also had neighbors that drove 70k cars but that had these weird for sale signs in their front yard that said... foreclosure

hmmmm, makes you think.

I hate cheap, rich people.

I like people that actually spend their money, not hoard it.

I dont care how much money you have... if you are cheap, you might as well fuck off

Nice, I drive an Acura :)

agreed. a friend of myne's grampa has like millions litterally in the bank, yet recently bought a second hand car. loser.

I understand why really really old people (like 75+) are cheap because many grew up with nothing or were alive during the depression, etc.

I'm not saying people shouldn't be smart shoppers or save money for future generations.

However, if you have a net worth in the 7+ figure range and you tip poorly, dress shitty, and don't donate money to charity, you can lick the fart from my anus.

I hate rich tightwads! They are evil.

I want to have a lot of money

Ever heard the term Humble thrown around?

I was once looking to work for a company that help people get out of foreclosure. The guy showed me the state's list of houses, I was shocked it was all high end houses in really nice neighborhoods.

Its not about being cheap. Its just when you got lets say $10,000,000 to your name you have nothing to prove, showing off just hurts you really. Why draw attention to yourself when you already know your the shit?

Yes I do agree with you on that. I know what kind of person your talking about now but those are not the people Im really talking about.

Ok you know what a lambo was a bad example cause most of those guys do have a little money not as much as they claim but they got money. Its more like the guy next to you driving that 2007 Escalade or some fancy BMW. Not all of them just like 80%.

you cant take it with you

yup..

reminds me of people when you go out to eat at a restaurant. the tab shows up and first thing i do is throw down a 20 my dinner is usually around 12-15 bucks. next thing you know there are 3-4 people in the group wanting to see the tab and pulling nickles and dimes out of their pocket. it's like fuck 5 bucks big fucking deal.

i mean im not rich but man if you can't afford 20 dollars to go out and eat then stay the fuck home.

what good is it to have money if you cant spend it ? yes buying a lambo and having no $ at the bank is stupid, but if you got nice amount saved up I dont see why you should keep driving that peice of shit car....

No one is obligated to donate to charity, even rich people... If I was worth 7 figures I still wouldn't donate, thing is I don't HAVE to, I can choose to do with it as I want because it's mine. I don't owe anybody anything.

You are 100% correct. You would still be a cheap scrooge imo.

well the car he is driving indicates his taste in cars.
maybe he is not too rich but loves to drive good cars :pimp
Anyways people are different and you can find them spending thier money or not so this all does really depend on who you are and how do you feel about spending your cash and on what...:)

I've known a lot of people in my life that spend every cent they get. they have a nice car, house and everything else and are in debt up to their eyes. If they ever lose their job and are out of work for a few months they are in deep deep trouble.

When I was in retail guys would drive up in their Mercedes with a nice watch and suit and get denied a credit card while a guy in a 10 year old car with overalls and shit on his boots gets a huge line of credit because he doesn't have much debt and saves his money.

I make deep into 6 figures and I drive a 2005 Ford F150 truck.

It has nothing to do with being cheap. Some people just know that spending all your money on bling is a shitty investment. The guy you think is "cheap", isn't spending his money on a 90k car, he's spending his money buying stocks, land, and other things that will make him more money.

life is about balance

if you have millions and never spend it and die tomorrow - what good was it?

if you spend everything - you're stretched too thin.

balance is somewhere inbetween - buy what you can afford and still have savings.


save/invest a PERCENTAGE of what you earn - force yourself - and force yourself to SPEND a percentage as well.

balance is key

I live in London.

If the guy in the "Lambo" can afford the insurance, parking and gas for that thing he has more money than me.

I am so anal about saving money these days since I had a real 'wake up' moment in life two years ago. I will probably never be rich because I too afraid to spend much of my savings to take risks but those savings have saved my ass recently too.

Heck, if the guy next to me in London can afford to look too long at a car like that chances are they have more than most of us BUT even he might not be able to afford a flat.

well-said... totally agree.

You can't take it with you when you die, so use it and have fun with it.

when we lived in LA we met so many people that drove kickass brand new bmw's, yet we would go to their homes and it would be a 1 bedroom studio apartment

so many people are concerned more about outward appearance so that others will accept them

LOL...not me, I have a nice savings built up and I drive a 1991 isuzu rodeo, haha...never got into the whole car thing, I want something that goes from point a to b and that is it
