Same reason poor people buy overpriced designer handbags. Status symbol…

Yup, those status symbols are for poor and upper middle class people.

  • poor - a few nice things makes you appreciate them a lot
  • upper middle class - no need to save money on such things, so you get "the best" or whatever
  • rich - you get bespoke stuff, "designer" stuff is for plebs
  • middle class - "a few nice things" isn't as good as "lots of pretty good things" and a funded retirement

  • poor - my in-laws
  • upper middle class - DINKs I work with, wealthy neighbors
  • rich - movies
  • middle class - me
