I’d also just like to add that I think that millionaires pay mucho taxes, and lots of them actually do good things. I’m not making any moral claims about any millionaires being good or evil (or about their cars for that matter), but just equating making money (or earning from investments or whatever) with spending it on consumables does not make sense.

I can totally understand what mrsanniep said about millionaires driving used cars. How do you think they got to be millionaires? (Hint—I don’t think it’s by frivolously spending. These people probably still save ketchup packets from McDonalds and use them at home)
