I was watching a documentary where they were interviewing the newly middle class in China. They interviewed this couple who had just bought their first BMW X5. The Chinese all love to show off with their German brands. This couple said they had scrimped and saved for five years to afford this car and were so proud of it. Some people and cultures just think differently. To me, a luxury car kills your net worth and gives you the illusion of being rich. I'll take the bus and my 8 figure portfolio thank you much.
