Sorry to bump in here. Have been observing the progress of this thread a few hot topics. Realised something important but forgotten and not sure who voiced it out. Living in a few million worth of bungalow feeling proud and sound. Buying few hundred thousand condos flip here and there and calling poor buyers like us water fishes.

No doubt sounded very successful in a way if don't compare to those silence readers who might be even more successful (usually many won't talk too much if really successful, some who needs more attention and recognision will make some noise).

However, I believe property is a rich man game. When you look at the example above, rich people living in multimillion bungalow and buying cheaper properties worth few hundred thousand to flip to those poor working people and after being sold the property and pocket the profit, poor buyers are to be labelled water fish. So its no doubt rich gets richer and poor gets poorer.

What to do, poor guy like me have to just stand behind some ego rich guy smelling fart. However, I believe 1 day poor guys can make it to the elite group too but will make sure if I make it, I will never call poor guys water fish.

Show of rich for few years is fun and feel great abundant ( like no need to see price tag, don't need to consider this and that budget.).

After a while.... most friends and  people around you already knew you are rich... become not fun anymore &  very stressful (sometime  tense).

But... being rich and remain anonymous is the best..... that is u no need to worry those price tag and people still think you are not that rich.

No offence
