I don't see where I was bragging about anything, I only mentioned my home one time to address a point.

Maybe the problem you have is with your own insecurities, and not with me. Have you considered that? Hope you have a nice day.
LOL! Nice try! I've also noticed that you seem to be bragging quite a bit about your M5 in this 3-Series forum. You've even created a thread about your M5. Whats an M5 owner doing spending so much time and posting on a 3-Series E9x forum. P.S. And now you've addded a Porsche. Is someone craving attention and trying to impress 3-Series owners?
Btw, how many more times do you plan to remind people how expensive it is to live where you live and how wealthy you claim to be? You've done so in just about every post you've made in this thread.

Dude I don't know what your problem is. I don't see where I am bragging about my M5. You have issues man.

California is an expensive place to live, even the other guy from Texas recognized that. I'm done with this thread. Too many insecure people.

I never hear good things about ANY Cali beaches. Just cause you pay a lot to live there doesn't mean it is the nicest place.

On the issue of your money... you are showcasing a bit, saying all this and starting a "Should I get an Alpina B7" thread... thats a little over the top. Now if you buy it and start 5 threads of "Look at the sweet ass car I just got!" it is different. I don't hate people who show their money cause I would do the same thing, I am just jealous.

back to the OP, I just got out of college so I want to live in an apartment for a while (maybe a townhome) so I don't have to worry about any up-keep needed when you own your property. That is why I went car > house.

Whether society is based on money or not is irrelevant. You asked her if it was real for one of two reasons, either you wanted to mock her for being a poseur carrying a fake bag or you wanted to judge her as being stupid for spending money on a purse. Neither of those are very classy alternatives are they? I have no problem talking about money with friends or family, but asking complete strangers what they paid for items is rude. How about you let people spend their money on whatever they like? It’s really none of your concern.

Do you know why the cost of living is lower in La Porte, Texas than in NYC, LA or London? Because it’s worth less to live there.

Economics 101: The "cost" of living somewhere is based on personal prefrence and needs. It may "cost" more for one person to live in the same house as it would a different person with the same income. This is called "preference".

Class dismissed.

Bahahaha. As I stare at one of the 6 flat screens flashing price quotes at me at work, i'll remember what some fresh out of college kid taught me about economics!

The cost of living in NYC/LA/London is higher than in Hicksville (for a comparable lifestyle, I thought that would be obvious) because there are more people who want to live there. Simple.

Okay, you don't even need a high school education to trade stocks, that is kids play. Most people do it in their spare time, want a cookie?

The cost of living is higher yes, but that is not what you said at first. You said it was WORTH more, which is might or might not be depending on the person. Get a clue would you?

Don't try and patronize me for having more education than you do. Have fun looking at your 6 flat screens all day.

I don't trade stocks. There's alot more to finance than the stock market.

The worth of anything is the price that it trades at. You may not think living in a major city is worth more than living in a small town, but the price says most people do.

Since you seem to want to knock my education, I've got a B. Comm in Economics and am currently working on a Masters in Financial Engineering from an Ivey League school. And I will enjoy looking at my screens. I'm one of the few people out there who loves my job. I hope you get so lucky when you start your career.

Case in point. I have a masters in actuarial science. Need me to educate you in how the prices are set? The worth of something is not universal. This is the reason you see some actors rolling around in Hybrid cars... not because they can't afford it but because they put a higher price on the environment than on a nice car... unlike "most" other rich people.

I love my job, thanks. When you get done with your masters let me know, then perhaps I will give you some credit.

oh, and I think you meant IVY league school
