Some people are clowns. Some people aren’t. Money doesn’t have much to do with it.
I get a lot more of that “OMG we paid (enter some supposedly impressive sum) for (something also supposedly impressive)” from high income job types than I hear from actual business people.
For the most part, I get along very well with wealthy people… I wouldn’t get along with someone like that.
I know people like this. They want to be the big fish in the small pond and when they find out that you’re swimming in a bigger pond they’ll bend over backwards to impress you… All it does is make them look like d bags.
I can tell you about someone I know that talks about all the stuff he buys. He doesn’t have an “RV” no… It’s a “motor coach” which is “better.” LOL.
He also once made it a point to talk loudly on the phone about “cutting someone a $5000 check.” Get out of here! “You mean you have five whole thousand dollars in your checking account! Wow!”
I wouldn’t be surprised if the people you are referring to are broke or will be soon. All the bragging in the world doesn’t make them richer than their reality. If they are impressed by the 700 dollar hotel room, just laugh as there is likely someone that flew over their stupid hotel in a private jet and they’ll set fire to $40k on a round trip and not give it another thought or brag.
As a rule, I don’t normally talk about money… I talk about business and dealings. The cause, not the effect. Most polite business people are the same.
