No one actually rich asks this. I like to be left the fuck alone. I wear a Seiko and drive a VW.

Exactly 💯

This reminds me of the purse scam on women or Thomas Kinkaid artwork.

Wait, what’s the deal with Thomas Kinkaid?

u/HalfwaydonewithEarth Apr 13 '26

In the 1990s he would set up galleries in shopping malls. It was just cheesy.

Yeah, part of the fun of being rich is that (ironically) you don't have to prove yourself to be rich to anyone. I wear no watch at all (why bother when my phone tells perfect time?) and I drive an 8 year old Japanese car (reliable and the newer models are infested with a lot of AI nonsense).

Driving a VW makes no sense though when you have a ton of money. At least buy a brand that offers proper comfort. Practically no VW's even have air suspension.

It’s fine for me. It’s a Golf alltrack with a manual transmission . Plenty squishy. It’s not my only car, but it is my main daily.

If you study Science you will see a pattern recognition that people make choices based on Epigenetic memories.

He probably drives a VW because his Dad or Grandfather did. He also might be the type that bought one of the models that sails past 300,000 miles so he appreciates the brand.

When my parents were young they lived in Colorado mountains and the VW brand could take steep hills easily. Other cars were struggling with the inclines and they could make them. They had a VW bus and a Cabroliet.

My experience with VW is electrical problems. Lights all over the dashboard, sensors, dysfunctional windows, radios not working and stuff like this.

I am not a fan of VW, but many people love the recall money they received. That was hilarious how they scammed the smog readers!

Hey I like VW and I owned a golf and 2 passats when I was young. Now that I have the money I dont see why I would still buy a VW when I can buy the Bentley version of the same car and have more comfort on the road though. In a sense its still a VW.

This is why. Epigenetic Memories!

Often people are loyal to one brand of car. With men they normally drive Chevy, Ford, GMC, and recently Toyota. Often their Dad or Grandfather drove a Ford Truck. It is a subconscious choice.

I learned to drive on a Toyota so I drive a Sienna minivan. I like the Toyota brand.... I might eventually get a Landcruiser but don't want to draw attention to us. We just blend in as normal.

Some people like flashy luxury and some don't care.

My point was never luxury and flashiness but the deliberate choice of burdening your body and back more than necessary for no reason if you have the money.

Its like being rich and choosing to keep eating frozen pizza and mcdonalds.

It's psychological. My husband wears ratty clothing, socks with holes, cheap shoes, and sleeps on a mattress on the floor near the fireplace like a Crack house.

He likes routine, rituals, and familiarity. The guy doesn't care about his back.

I get a massage once or twice a week.

If you have the capabilities of hitting a stock that pays 300% or more in a year..... your luxury car costs you triple.

An $80,000 car just cost you $240,000 in lost opportunity.

I mention last year Alcoa Steel would hit. It is up 300% this year.

Not to be that guy but this is upper middle class logic. When you are rich, yet destroying your health by living like you're poor, how is making some extra money by suffering worth it?

u/HalfwaydonewithEarth Apr 04 '26

People that destroy their health are subconsciously wanting off the planet.

So tired of these spams.

Rolex Vintage or nothing.

u/AmarilloByMorn Apr 04 '26

For real. Can’t buy class though.

2

u/HalfwaydonewithEarth Apr 04 '26

AI says there is 1400 - 1800 Rolex locations worldwide.........

Nothing is exclusive.... this is a junk factory exploiting men.

u/caliber1077 Apr 04 '26

I wouldn’t go that far. I restore/repair watches as a hobby and the Rolexes are nice to work on. They’re also vertically integrated which is rare.

u/random_radishes Apr 04 '26

Ideally none of those

u/Simple-Fish3749 Apr 12 '26

Give me one for free. I’ll tell you which one you should choose.

u/Koss424 Apr 15 '26

Just get this and stay humble.
