    True

    people with money do not flash it .


    a Friend of mine from high school , after his parents passed away and they are sorting out the estate , getting the house ready to sell etc, kept getting bank statements in the mail ,
    Tons of them .
    His dad worked at a paper mill and his mother was a stay at home mom that raised four kids .

    I’d been to their house and his parents always bought their clothes at the goodwill store , always bought hail damaged cars or something , never bought brand name food , never went out to eat , etc

    turns out they had over three million in 13 different banks .

    even their kids didn’t know they had money .

    The speed limit might be at a max of 75 mph. So why purchased this type of car other than being pretentious? I dont think it helps you liive longer.

    The only reason people but expensive cars is to show off how much money they have that’s not invested in real estate .

    The “Narcos” show on Netflix is worth the watch.
    Escobar would tell the cops “ Do you want silver or lead”?
    Translation: I will either pay you off or kill you.
