Some wealthy people are show offs who believe in “conspicuous
consumption.” Those who I know are pretty conservative—like me and my
favorite character:
Anybody rich or or “all hat & no cattle,” who earns money mainly to buy
show off expensive toys —- IMO — they will never be rich. If they get a

necessities , you are not showing off . IMO that is the best way to
achieve financial independence and to keep the freedom that goes with
it…Read my other 1000+ answers for tips on money, love, health & humor.
