lafemcaliente Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 if someone flaunts how much money they have, their car, material things, is it a bad thing or just them being proud of all they have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missroxy Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 it depends on how they go about it....if someones like wow your car is a piece of shit unlike my very expensive one. thats bad. especially if i worked and bought my piece of shit car while mommy and daddy bought yours. Also if someone flaunts their wealth and looks down on anyone thats not on their "level" and thinks they can treat them bad, thats not good either. in general i don't think you should shove your material shit down others throats.

ou812 Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 Could go both ways............more often than not it's overcompensation or some insecurity issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgmodel Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 if someone flaunts how much money they have, their car, material things, is it a bad thing or just them being proud of all they have?i hate braggarts, and show-offs... the ppl who try to show off what they have and how much they have of it, typically do not have anything or much of anything... from my experience it just seems that way...

fresinha12 Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 well if u have money, y not show it off, the problem is with people who dont have it and expect the rich to somehow shove it up cause they are not....if u got a nice car, show it off by driving slow so that everyone can see it, if u have a big house make sure u have plenty of lights on so people can see it......just cause other people dont have money doesnt mean that rich ppl should'nt somehow rub it in to others.....how can any rich person make me feel down? I am the only one capable of doing that....i may drive a shitty car, but hecK i dont give a flyin rats ass what someone else has....as long as its mine, and i'm content with my life, no one, no matter how rich can ever make me feel down.....but then again maybe its cause i got too much money of my own..????.modesty is so much more attractive.........

kahn Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 well if u have money, y not show it off?.you know what you have.........imo, there's no need to flaunt it........but that's just me......in the end it's just an object (car/house)........impress me with you......not what you have.......as I said.......to me, modesty is much more attractive.............btw......you can be extremely rich and extremely modest........you can also be extremely rich and extremely arrogant......

lollie60 Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 All my life all my friends were richer than me ...they never showed off or made me feel bad ...but I still felt bad anyways all the time If you feel shitty if someone in a Ferrari drives by - that's your problem ...maybe you got low self esteem .. People with money are trying to have fun they'r not doing it on purpose to make others feel bad ....so if you got money ...play with it , enjoy it and do whatever you want ! The only time I was grossed out by too much money was when I saw this black guy ( looked like s horter version of Usher) in a mink jacket + a SL500 convertible ...the car is cool but why the fuck does a guy wear a mink jacket in late summer ?? I DOn't like men in fur ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lollie60 Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 my definition of rich is - someone who does and buys whatever they want whenever thay want and never have to worry about the bill or being it on sale ... Someone who travels first class...I had friend whose parents owned a private plane and his sister took all her friends in it to Cancun !

kahn Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 whts the point of having money?to do anything you want....to buy anything you want......financial freedom.....houses, cars, vacations, etc...........I never said not to enjoy these things or the money you have........my point is that there is no need to act like a hotshot because you have money......pretentious people like that are annoying..........as I've said.....you know what you have.....enjoy it.......

lafemcaliente Posted June 22 Author Report Share Posted June 22 maybe i should explain the context in which i meant this a little more..i was talking to someone recently, and within the first five minutes of meeting them they told me how much their watch was worth, their car and all the accesories, their wardobe, their apartment, etc.now mind you that they weren't telling me this to 'rub it in my face' per say, but it just made me wonder how much they themselves have substance as a person aside from the material things. im not trying to imply in the slightest that having nice things is a bad thing, you should be proud of what you have, but it just made me wonder if that's what they are all about.

They shouldn't have to say anything. That's pretty classless and tasteless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's another thing to put a monetary value on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tastey Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 my definition of rich is - someone who does and buys whatever they want whenever thay want and never have to worry about the bill or being it on sale ... Someone who travels first class...I had friend whose parents owned a private plane and his sister took all her friends in it to Cancun !ohhh i know what you mean!i once dated a girl for a shirt while, she was totally in love me... BUT her religion (and her father) forbid her to have sex before marriage, which is a BIG minus of course.this girl´s family had money you wouldn´t believe, her father was somehow involved in the oil business (as in owned a couple of oil fields)... she had two cars (one mercedes and one alpha romeo sportscar)... big houses in spain, greece, portugal, france, yachts, planes, she had a 15000$ custom designed dress to high school graduation that was flown in from london... etc...shit i should have stayed with that girl and married her lol... got along with her father real good too... but then again i would have had to stay with her. if i´d have broken up with her after the wedding, i´d probably have some contract killers after me but then again i don´t need the money that bad anyway. my family is pretty good covered too... not as good as "lil princess"´s (that was my nickname for her) family, but definately enough i don´t have to worry about anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
