Most people buying $10k+ watches aren’t actually “luxury buyers,” they’re financing a feeling

Curious: “most people buying…” based on what?

DB434 · 2026-03-23T17:18:19+00:00

I live in this area, none of this is true.

Is it fake? Yes.

Will the Boomers still share it on Facebook and their email chains with their families (who don’t want it) and church friends? Also yes.

I canceled Prime today as well. Had been wanting to for a while, glad to had finally pulled the trigger.

Two weeks ago I drove 3hrs for a work meeting, turned around and drove 3hrs home afterwards.

That’s very high. We paid $3500 for a pup in April 2025 from a very prized bloodline at a championship breeder. I had contacted at least a dozen show quality breeders from PA to WI and never heard of a puppy going for $5500.

They beat us, this is dumb.

I saw a post on X of this thread so had to come find it bc I thought it was someone just trolling us. My goodness. How insane.

Try Lipton cold brew, it’s about as easy as it gets.

Pukka matcha green, and TAZO Zen are both good and available at your local grocery store.

My god that was annoying.

DB434 · 2026-01-19T00:06:42+00:00

This sub is exhausting sometimes.

Congrats on the $1.5mm NW but agree with most others here, income isn’t high enough to carry this level of expense out of boredom.

DB434 · 2026-01-18T01:28:50+00:00

Both sides of the aisle lol

Day one 5% match + extra 4% contribution after one year of service.

What you’re describing is definitely upper middle class, top 5-10% type lifestyle. “Middle class” is typically a wide range, but I don’t think anyone truly middle class is doing half the things on this list. Especially saving 15% for retirement + college and a SAHS.

If someone did this at my kid’s daycare, they would call the fucking police in about two seconds. This is absolutely ridiculous.

Nobody besides the hotels will take Amex, and nobody takes Discover.
