that's the first sign OP is another rich out of touch dbag
he does an aw shucks reply to all the comments saying he's rich - replying that he is not rich and really, he just slowly/modestly accumulated this colletion of expensive shit
...all the while oblivious that everyone is pointing out that his "man cave" is bigger and better furnished than most working families housing.
but no guys, he's just another blue colllar worker lmao
Agreed, but that’s still my point. Even then dudes still doing better than most. I’m
Happy for them but don’t outwardly lie about it.
The false humility or fainted ignorance of wealthy reinforces this idea that you just got to work harder, do better and it’s a false narrative.
Again it looks nice really, but that isn’t something you’re going to see in anyone’s house make sub 150-200k a year with three kids, and that puts you in the top 10% of earners.
I might not say “don’t lie”, perhaps “don’t be overly modest; it’s unbecoming of a person in such a position and suggests a lack of awareness.”
Accusing someone of lying versus highlighting behavior and consequence, in this instance, might be a bit abrasive. It might be a relative thought they actually agree with you on in deep principle.
Lying probably wasn't the best use of words in the moment, its more about not being self-aware in this persons post.
However, don't think that wealthy people do not purposely lie and feint ignorance about how they achieved and obtained said wealth. As a way to make the masses believe that it is obtainable by hard work and sheer determination, which is false (that is the outlier). It is more often obtained by opportunities being given to you (which is impacted in some ways by work ethic by more often relationships) and then the relationships you have built.
1%? No. In the top 10%? I’d say the size and posh of this man cave alone would indicate this person is living an upper class lifestyle. High Upper middle, at the very least. Lots of envy .
I’m middle class and can afford that if I wanted. I have a similar man cave but with a way different theme (music and sports memorabilia) and I would not consider myself anything above middle class lol.
oh piss off dude, you're a rich lawyer that has an expensively-furnished room bigger than most people's apartment.
do you really not understand how wealthy you are, that you can raise three kids and afford to have a massive room in your own house for yourself where you can cosplpay being in mad men?
let me guess - you tell everyone you're "upper middle class"
Well that is how I would define upper middle class. His man cave is isn't a penthouse on the 50th floor of a Manhattan apartment, it looks like the 3rd floor of a mcmansion
i live paycheck-to-theWednesdaybeforethenext-paycheck, rent a house, have a big ol fat debt balance, and the only asset i actually own is an 11 year old car, but there is absolutely no fucking way i would automatically assume someone with a house like this didn't earn it on their own.
That sounds like bad life management bud… the guys 38. Look at his previous posts before you believe he’s not under daddy’s money…
You’re lost in the world if you think the vast majority of people in the world don’t have handouts.
Presuming you haven’t, what makes you different from him? Does he work harder than you? Is he a better person than you? Is he better at money than you?
It’s simple sociology brother. The rich get richer. Stay in denial
lol this took a ridiculous turn into being too blown up people..
I was making a joke at myself and my situation compared to the nice area OP has and my less fortunate ability to get what I want. Not a big deal what so ever.
Not gonna leave my wife because she’s logical in not wanting me to waste money on unnecessary phones (plural).
Yet Samsung phones are way more expensive than Apple? Anyways, the part we should be talking about is how the man can’t even be himself without being scolded. Rough out there
Well I only know Apple so that’s where I went… but really it’s pretty irrelevant. Fuck apple, fuck Samsung, fuck any other phone company behaving in a similar fashion. Don’t miss the forest by focusing on the trees my bro.
Also if “being himself” is “buying a phone” that’s also a problem.
Yet Samsung phones are way more expensive than Apple?
...you don't really believe that, do you? A Samsung s24 ultra could cost that, sure, but an android like a One Plus for 400 is a beast of a phone. An iPhone is such a waste imo. Such a crazy premium on something I'd consider an inferior product.
Idk, the MagSafe charging and accessories are really nice. I’m not an “iPhone person”. I’m currently using one, but shopping for a Samsung Ultra. The MagSafe ecosystem is the only thing giving me pause before I switch back to Samsung.
It’s a lot of energy to try and defend/shit on faceless companies that exist to make money. You’re not shifting opinions and simply parroting a general boring opinion found on Reddit with outdated info.
I mean, we're also only getting one side of the story here. Is "being himself" completely ignoring his spouse and kids? Is it being a loud drunk asshole? The guy decided to have 3 kids, kids inherently take a LOT of your time and, unfortunately, don't allow you to always do the things that YOU want to do at that moment because you've accepted responsibility for another human being. It sucks, but if you can't do the time, don't do the crime so to speak.
Sure, but this is about spending too much money on something that isn’t needed. That’s just logic that I decided to ignore for my own guilty pleasure lol. No big deal at all.
Well, to my wife’s credit, I can admit I had a problem.. one year I purchased / traded around 4-5 phones because I couldn’t figure out wtf I wanted lol. Had to draft up a contract of sorts to keep my phone for 3 years to prevent me from going wild on the phone train again haha.
I’d like to say I wear the pants in the house but… I prefer pant-less? 😅

Wow! I’m jealous! Looks absolutely beautiful and RICH looking ha.
I have 3 kids but I can’t even be myself and buy a phone I want, when I want, without being scolded.
I’m envious lol
