Reply #172: People live to their means

[davepc]

or in the immortal words of Sean Combs: Mo' Money, Mo' Problems.

The intra-class warfare in this thread makes me sick.

As peoples income levels rise, their levels of consumption rise. People who make more money spend more money.

Very very very rare and few is the person who makes 100,000 but who lives to the level of some one making 40,000.

And if the person who makes 40,000 soon found themselves making 100,000 more often then not they'd start to spend to the level of a person making 100,000. Of course, just most of the people making less then 100,000 in this thread excluded. They'd know not to do any such thing.
