Replying to: houdini1 (Apr 21, 2008 11:08 am)  Some time ago I met a wealthy man that surprised me because of his wearing the same (elegant) suit and tie everyday. Having reached some familiarity with him, I asked the reason behind his wearing habits. He show me to its closet, where it hanged dozens of suits and ties of two or three basic same colors. "Oh, I change suits everyday, but one has not to show the money behind it", he told me. He had a nice collection of Ferrari's and classic cars, on the other hand.  Today, not so much. They just can't seem to master the electronics, etc. Agreed. Regards, Jose |

Replying to: dewey (Apr 21, 2008 10:51 am) One of the interesting quirks of Americans is that the top-25% of earners believe themselves to be in the top 1% while the top 50% believe themselves to be in the top 25%. Basically we are all convinced of our own value! I know from experience that the display of wealth is viewed completely differently between Europe and the US.

Replying to: 2001gs430 (Apr 21, 2008 11:43 am) I was specifically referring to the assertion made above by a forum member here. I was referring to luxury marques in general and not specifically with respect to a model like a BMW 550i. |

Replying to: bristol2 (Apr 21, 2008 12:02 pm) Turns out that such disclosure increased CEO pay from 131 times to 398 times of an average workers' salary. Why? Because when every CEO knew what the top CEOs were earning the majority of CEOs felt that they too were just as worthy as those top CEOs. So the majority of average CEOs began to earn top CEO salaries while the superstar CEOs earned even higher stratospheric salaries. It's so true most people do over-rate themeselves. The majority dont like being average while in fact statistically the majority are just average. |
