But seriously, you go to the hospital, some anaesthesiologist wearing New Balance running shoes shows up and does his thing, seems like someone you played ball with in HS, he's a 1%'er. He has none of the homes shown in this thread, he may even drive a 2013 Accord. 
(that's my cousin I've described above)
It's misleading...you have options as a 1%'er, but putting 2 kids through college and raising them? You're in a tough spot because you don't qualify for a lot of assistance out there, which you would as a 10%'er....and from my observation, it's often the people who earn less driving the flashier cars, spending more, etc. |
Too true. It's amazing how few people realize this. You'll still see snide comments in other bimmerpost sub-forums where people make wild assumptions about one's income or net worth based on the car they drive or the value of the watch they wear.
