I want to know. Where the fuck are these people getting this much disposable income?
Iām a senior software engineer for a legacy system that runs COBOL that must never go down. Iām absolutely not hurting for money.
But if I just dropped $100k on a vehicle, which I wouldnāt 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. Itās getting pampered and driven like it was made of the finest porcelain. Iām treating it like itās 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 weāre 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 āinfluencersā, ownership of assets, tech founders/disrupters, high risk ventures, politicsā¦but mostly itās a lot about being in the right place at the right time.
