Re: When do you consider someone well-off?

[(Anonymous)]

Nice house, nice car. I usually don't notice any other "signs" since everyone now has an iphone and $6 coffee drink on hand.

Re: When do you consider someone well-off?

Nah. I know people who had nice houses and cars, but they were broke and in debt. Largely because they had to fork over their money every month to pay for more house and car than they could afford.

Anytime I meet someone who shows off how much stuff they have, or how much this or that cost, I assume they are broke and in debt. The people I know who were truly well off, the VPs of Fortune 500 companies, the military officers, they never tried to prove anything to me. A person is well off when they don't have to brag.

DA

I agree. Lots of people in this thread are confusing the upper-middle class who aspire to "the lifestyles of the rich" with actual rich people.

Most rich people who are not the 0.01% billionaires, do not live "the lifestyles of the rich" in Hollywood films that people imagine they do.

Re: When do you consider someone well-off?

[iceyred]

Pretty much. Most of the rich people I know are regular people who were careful with their money.

Any fool can spend money on toys and/or go into debt. Doing so doesn't make anyone wealthy and it certainly isn't impressive.

AYRT

Okay? I didn't say anything about bragging.

Re: When do you consider someone well-off?

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed, and I say this as someone who will probably inherit close to a million dollars from my parents. No one would ever guess how much money my family has because we have a small house, drive older cars, don't take expensive vacations, and almost never eat out. That's WHY my parents have so much money - because they've been careful with it and haven't spent it left and right.
