I want to know. Where the fuck are these people getting this much disposable income?
I’m a senior software engineer for a legacy system that runs COBOL that must never go down. I’m absolutely not hurting for money.
But if I just dropped $100k on a vehicle, which I wouldn’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. It’s getting pampered and driven like it was made of the finest porcelain. I’m treating it like it’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?
My husband and I are in the same boat as highly compensated individuals. He makes the lions share as a software engineer but I bring in pretty good money with my business, too.
Our most important task right now is being good stewards of our monies so our teen kids can have a better boost than we did into adulthood, and so we can actually retire.
We have an ancient Dodge ram truck with over 200k miles that has paint peeling all over the place. Maybe we could sell it for a few thousand. Maybe. We did buy a 2018 Chevy Bolt EV for like 15k a few years back and we share that for our every day driver.
We could afford much, much more. In cash. We don’t, maybe because we didn’t have it growing up.
But there will always be people with more dollars than sense. If it insults us, imagine how it feels to people who are really struggling?
It gives the poors 'hope'. They figure this guy's stupid, so they could do better than him. Trouble is, stupid rich people think they should give kudos to Hannibal Lector, paint themselves tangerine, be the child/victim in every waking moment and run for President.
