tfw there are educated people on this board who would rather live in a house that is above their means just to posture but be unable to truly relax and have security in it, rather than living in a house that is below their means and living in it like a king.

if you care about excessive comfort and being perceived as wealthy by others this is probably the wrong board for you.
pride is a bitch. it costs money for people to stroke their egos, why get salty about it. let people enjoy the things they do with their money. is this board not about money?

I, too, love being poor

The issue isn't enjoying your prosperity or not, but not spending so much on achieving your pride goals that you end up in a bad situation if you suffer a downturn.

personally i don't flex but i'm just saying, think of it like a risky investment. maybe it pays off and gets you laid, impresses your friends, makes you happy, whatever. maybe you're still sad inside, but you just wanted to know what it was like to drive that car around for a bit and play pretend. so what? some people just like to go balls to the walls and don't care if they lose one, other people like to keep both safely tucked between their legs. it has nothing to do with being educated.

Educated people should know that if you don't have a safety net, you might fall to your death.
