What sort of lifestyle services are provided?

In relation to higher credit limit, as far as I know, this is simply a function of your income or worth. If you wanted to, the bank could issue you a gold card with the same credit limit as your World Mastercard.

You should read the book "The Millionaire Next Door".

And there are indeed some millionaires who drive around in Protons (or some other cheaper car) instead of being driven in BMWs or Benzs.

Haven't you heard the saying "don't judge a book by its cover"? Some people still never learn...

1. No that's not what I'm saying. You are certainly entitled to do with your money as you wish. My comment relates more to the motivation and reason behind why you choose to spend your money. If you want to buy a beemer because you enjoy cars and wish to experience the ultimate driving machine, that's your choice. But if you want to buy a beemer to show off, or to keep up with the Joneses, then that's different. From your post earlier, it seems that your motivation is to "flaunt", to show that you "have left the ranks of peasants". By extension then you are implying that others who do not display signs of wealth are peasants.

2. I'm not offended by your philosophy. I just think it's kind of shallow. So how do you define rich? Please let us know your net worth then we can feedback if we're qualified to preach to you or not.

3. Again, I'm not telling you how to spend your money. I'm just commenting on your philosophy and how you view others who don't display obvious signs of wealth.

4. Indeed why not? The key is "why". It's your choices to do or not to do something that defines you and shows others who you are. Of course you can be driven around in a BMW - that tells something about you. You can also go around in an old Proton - that also tells something about you. So what sort of message do you want to send out? It's your choice.

Yes, we can agree to disagree. Like I said, you are entitled to spend your money the way you see fit.

I'm not about to get into a pissing competition about who has higher net worth. Never intended to. It was you who started that issue, as if only those with higher net worth than you can preach to you.

Ah, I wish I was earning in Aussie dollars!

Peace out.
