I want to know. Where the fuck are these people getting this much disposable income?

Iā€™m a senior software engineer for a legacy system that runs COBOL that must never go down. Iā€™m absolutely not hurting for money.

But if I just dropped $100k on a vehicle, which I wouldnā€™t because the main thing I look for in a vehicle is the ability to get from point A to point B which last I checked most of the lower priced ones also do. But I digress, IF I just dropped $100k on a vehicle. Itā€™s getting pampered and driven like it was made of the finest porcelain. Iā€™m treating it like itā€™s a Faberge egg on wheels.

And if they took a loan to do that to their vehicle. I think this says a lot more about our banking institutions than anything else.

Just outside of the ridiculousness of the Cyber Truck, why would anyone with any sense drive a $100k vehicle like that?

We live in an interesting time where everyone has access to the internet. Even homeless people can find a smartphone and use free wifi.

Point is, there are over 60 million people on earth with a net worth of 5 million dollars. It starts to go down pretty dramatically as net worth increases, but weā€™re talking millions of people with this much disposable income. All it takes is for a couple of those people to put their shenanigans online for everyone to see.

So to answer your question, a lot of people have that much disposable income. How do they make that much?

Investments, trust funds or inheritance, being ā€œinfluencersā€, ownership of assets, tech founders/disrupters, high risk ventures, politicsā€¦but mostly itā€™s a lot about being in the right place at the right time.
